Are there helicopters capable of lifting a fully loaded cargo container?

• Baeocystin 6y ago
  No. The absolute heaviest-lift helicopter, the MI-26, can lift a little over 20 short tons. Most helicopters can carry a ton or two at most. In comparison, unloaded shipping containers are already a few tons. Loaded ones are all over the place, of course, but max out at around 30.

  In addition to the weight issues, there are up to 20k of them on board.
