Innovative Drone Solutions for Agriculture, Construction, Forestry, and Emergency Response
Future of Aerial Support & Logistics
Future of Aerial Support & Logistics
We’re expanding beyond the ground and into the air. Ridgeline Aerial Services, a division of Hoeffner Contracting, is preparing to launch with advanced heavy-lift drone capabilities designed to transform how projects in agriculture, construction, forestry, utilities, mining, drilling, and emergency response are done.
Our aerial platforms will deliver:
Agriculture: precision spraying, seeding, and crop monitoring
Construction & Land Services: aerial surveying, mapping, and material transport to remote or inaccessible sites
Forestry & Wildfire Support: fuels reduction, fire line monitoring, and aerial suppression R&D
Utilities, Mining & Drilling: delivery of equipment and supplies to hard-to-reach sites, inspection, and safe access support
Emergency & Remote Support: rapid resupply, reconnaissance, and long-range logistics support
Backed by military aviation partners, preferred government contractors, and private industry innovators, Ridgeline is building momentum with proven support from leaders who see the potential of drone technology to cut costs, increase precision, and improve safety. Our systems will feature 1,000+ pound lift capacity and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations—expanding range, payload, and mission profiles far beyond today’s typical drone services.
We are actively looking to partner, team, or collaborate with agencies, contractors, and landowners who want to leverage this next-generation capability to save time, money, improve safety, and gain access to the toughest terrain.
Stay tuned as we bring this capability online—delivering the same rugged dependability Hoeffner Contracting is known for, now with technology in the air.
