The ECHO SS Heli Skid turns a semi tractor into a removable helicopter landing and refueling platform. Built from the same removable SS platform concept, it gives ag operators a stable landing surface that can be moved between locations without dedicating a permanent truck or trailer to the job.

The platform is 8.5 ft wide and uses four hydraulic stabilizer arms, each with 18 inches of stroke, to help level and support the landing surface on uneven ground. Fuel or chemical tanks can be mounted below the platform, keeping the deck clear while making refilling easier from ground level.

For ag helicopter operators, applicators, and support crews, the SS Heli Skid gives you a mobile landing setup that can be positioned where the work is happening.

Features

  • 8.5 Ft Wide Landing Platform: Provides a stable working surface for ag helicopter landing and refueling operations.
  • Four Hydraulic Stabilizer Arms: Supports the platform at four points for better stability on uneven ground.
  • 18" Stabilizer Stroke: Gives each hydraulic arm enough travel to help level the platform across changing terrain.
  • Below-Deck Tank Placement: Keeps tanks below the platform for easier ground-level filling and a cleaner landing surface.
  • Removable SS Platform Design: Built around the same removable semi-mounted concept as the ECHO SS platform.
  • Mobile Field Setup: Lets crews position the landing platform closer to the work instead of relying on a fixed landing location.
  • Clear Landing Surface: Keeps refueling equipment and tank storage out of the way beneath the deck.
  • Platform Width: 8.5 ft
  • Platform Type: Removable semi-mounted helicopter landing platform
  • Hydraulic Stabilizer Arms: 4
  • Stabilizer Stroke: 18″ per arm
  • Support Layout: Four-point hydraulic stabilization

What is the ECHO SS Heli Skid?

The SS Heli Skid is a removable semi-mounted helicopter landing and refueling platform built for ag helicopter operations and mobile field support.

How does the platform stay stable on uneven ground?

The platform uses four hydraulic stabilizer arms with 18″ of stroke per arm. The four-point support system helps level and stabilize the landing surface when the truck is parked on uneven ground.

Why are the tanks mounted below the platform?

Below-deck tank placement keeps the landing surface clear and makes it easier to refill the helicopter from ground level.

Does the Heli Skid permanently convert the truck?

No. It is based on the removable ECHO SS platform concept, allowing the truck to be used for other work when the skid is removed.

Can the platform be moved between fields?

Yes. The semi-mounted design lets crews reposition the landing and refueling platform as the job moves.

What is the benefit of moving the platform closer to the field?

A closer refill point can reduce ferry time, shorten turnaround between loads, and help keep aerial application work moving efficiently.

Will it work with any helicopter?

Fitment should be confirmed based on the helicopter model, operating weight, landing gear footprint, truck setup, tank layout, and intended use.

Is this a certified permanent helipad?

No. This is a mobile field landing and refueling platform. Final setup and operation should follow the aircraft operator’s requirements and all applicable safety rules.

The ECHO SS Heli Skid is designed to work with most semi tractors using a standard fifth wheel / kingpin setup. Its adjustable frame allows fitment across a wide range of truck brands and configurations.

ECHO Equipment Warranty – We built it, and we stand behind it.

All ECHO attachments are backed by a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship from the original purchase date – twice the length of standard industry coverage.

Covers:

  • Structural components, frames, and welds
  • Hydraulic components including cylinders and hoses
  • Failures related to manufacturing defects under normal use

Does not cover:

  • Wear items such as teeth, cutting edges, seals, and bushings
  • Damage from misuse, improper installation, or lack of maintenance
  • Operation outside recommended specs

If something goes wrong, you deal directly with ECHO. No runaround – just real support from people who built the product and stand behind it.

Stable Landing Surface in the Field

Four hydraulic support arms help level and stabilize the platform on uneven ground, giving helicopter crews a more consistent landing area away from the shop.

Easy Ground-Level Filling

Tanks can be placed below the landing surface, making it easier to fill the helicopter without lifting containers or working from the deck.

Removable Semi-Mounted Design

Based on the removable ECHO SS platform, the Heli Skid can be installed on a semi tractor without permanently converting the truck.

Move the Platform With the Job

Bring the landing and refueling platform closer to the application area to reduce ferry time and keep helicopter operations moving.

  • Ag helicopter operators applying fertilizer, herbicide, fungicide, and crop protection products.
  • Aerial applicators wanting to reduce ferry time between the field and a fixed refill location.
  • Farm operations supporting helicopter spraying, seeding, and other aerial application work.
  • Custom applicators moving between farms, fields, and seasonal jobs.
  • Helicopter support crews needing a mobile landing and ground-level refill platform.
I purchased a grapple bucket here. The Stinger RG looks like it's built to withstand the beatings of brush clearing and rock picking. Here's an update: I absolutely love this grapple bucket. I cleared a ¼ fence line of small trees, and a few times I got really abusive to the grapple — it took it like a king!

I purchased a snow pusher from this company. I dealt with Justin. Justin is highly responsive and knowledgeable. The snow pusher is well built and high quality. Everything about the experience was first class. If you have any doubt about dealing with this company, remove all doubt. It's a very well run operation.
Robert Landis
Excellent communication, trustworthy people here. I bought an Express Steel brush cutter from them and it was a pleasure doing business with them over Facebook. Honestly, it was worth every dime. Thanks for everything.
B. Horn
Great experience buying a Stinger grapple from Justin at ECHO Eqpt. They have honest and transparent pricing and are very knowledgeable about their products. The grapple was promptly shipped after the sale and does not disappoint! I will definitely look at ECHO Eqpt for future implement purchases.
Seth Culbertson
Justin was awesome to deal with. He remembers his customers and gets them product right away. His description of the grinder we bought was spot on — really fast and tons of power.
Matt K0KB
Excellent customer service. Justin answered all the questions I had about the tire handler. They offer unbeatable prices, great quality products, and fast shipping. Before buying the tire handler, it usually took us three to four hours to swap tires on our sprayer. With the tire handler, we did it in one hour — and a lot more safely.
Adrian Reza
ECHO has been a top-notch dealer for Stinger Attachments for several years. We have worked with them as a supplier from the start and watched them grow. Justin and Randy are quick to respond, helpful, and provide reliable service after the sale.

Bought a brush mower from them for our ASV RT-50 track loader and we love it! The company was very friendly and easy to work with, and the attachment works flawlessly and is a beast. Love supporting another family-owned business!

I recently purchased a Skid Max from Justin. He was very friendly and helpful on the phone and made purchasing it a breeze. The tool works amazingly and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend these folks for your next skid steer attachment purchase!
Beau
Customer service was phenomenal. We needed a sheep's foot wheel compactor for a JD 310SL, and these guys went above and beyond to custom build a mount for our machine. Turnaround is very quick as well.
Justin Hoover
Bought a 3X grader from them — one of the best grader attachments if you want your road done right. Great people, and a product I could have used 10 years ago. Thanks!
Ray Schaefer
I have been searching for a good, solid brush grapple, and by all means Stinger is everything and more: strong, solid, and easy to attach and use. Thank you, ECHO Eqpt — great service and staff!

So far, as far as ordering a product goes, the service is exceptionally easy and the company is very responsive to questions and concerns.
