About Us

Creating Something Great

We first decided to start manufacturing heavy lift drones for the purpose of flying road layouts for large scale logging operations. Anyone who has experienced logging knows the hardships that come with the industry. That is why we set out to provide something that could help increase safety, and boost production. 

Throughout the years, we determined that these drones can help more than just logging companies. Now, Hilltop Aerial provides large scale drones and services to logging companies, forestry departments, tree planters, power line companies, land owners, fire departments, search and rescue operations, and so much more.

When creating our company, we made it a requirement that we are there with you every step of the way. We are a family business and will always treat our customers as part of the family.

We will provide you with everything you need to be successful with this technology. With Hilltop Aerial, you are receiving 24/7 customer support, and enhanced training to teach you pilot and crews how to use the drone quick and efficiently. We build our drones from the ground up so we know how to troubleshoot everything that goes onto the drone if something isn’t working right.
