DESCRIPTION

This Carrier Hx8 Efficiency is capable and cost effective under 55lbs payload UAV.

The Harris Aerial Carrier Hx8 Efficiency is a capable and cost-effective heavy-lift UAV designed to carry a wide range of payloads for professional applications. With a payload capacity of up to 18 lbs, this drone is ideal for aerial mapping, surveying, search and rescue, and agricultural applications.

Built in the USA with tight tolerances, the Carrier Hx8 Efficiency ensures exceptional reliability and customer satisfaction. Its patent-pending quick-release battery canopy system allows for seamless battery swaps in seconds, while the foldable booms and landing gear make it one of the most portable heavy-lift drones on the market.

With the ability to integrate multiple payload types—including LiDAR, thermal imaging cameras, and agricultural spray systems—the Carrier Hx8 Efficiency offers unparalleled versatility for professionals seeking an efficient and dependable UAV solution.

Key Features

Quick-Release Battery Canopy System 

Our battery racks are equipped with four 16,000mAh-22,000mAh lithium polymer batteries at a time.  Our battery quick release system is simple to use and extremely efficient. (Patent Pending)

How it works:

  • Drop the battery rack inside the battery rack bay in the center of the drone.
  • Close the canopy over the batteries
  • Latch the canopy down to a hook located on the other side of the drone’s top frame plate and insert the safety pin into the draw latch as a safety measure.

Features

  • Swap out up to 4x 30,000 mAh LiPo batteries in just seconds.
  • Securely fastens the batteries in the drone
  • Protects from dust and water
  • Able to mount multiple positioning sensors, including GPS/GNSS, RTK GPS, and 360 LiDAR to the canopy.

Collapsible Booms 

The Carrier Hx8’s patent-pending foldable design crowns the Hx8 as the most foldable heavy-lift drone on the market. The Carrier’s booms can be secured in their ready position in just seconds with our foldable boom hinge mechanism.

How it Works:

  • Fold booms into flight ready position until quick-release pin automatically catches and locks the boom securely in place- it's that simple!

Features:

  • The Hx8 folds down to 40 percent of its flight-ready size, with propellers attached.
  • Aluminum exoskeleton and carbon fiber material allow for booms to be easily mended in the field.
  • Rail System and Quick Release Dovetail for varying payload types, including:
  • LIDAR and Photogrammetry 3D Mapping Packages
  • Hyperspectral Cameras
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras
  • HD Zoom Cameras
  • Agricultural Spray Systems
  • Payload Releases
  • Toxic Gas Sensors for First Responders
  • Search and Rescue Equipment

Foldable Landing Gear

With durable CNC foldable hinge joints, our landing gear system allows the user to fold the landing skids inward for easy and fast transport.  (Patent Pending) 

How it works:

  • The drone pilot simply detaches the payload with our circular quick release or other custom quick release*
  • Pull up latches on the side of the foldable arm joints
  • Fold down the landing gear, and then transport the drone

Features:

  • With up to 21” wide of mounting space, the Hx8 is capable of carrying massive payloads
  • Composed of Carbon Fiber and Lightweight Onyx Material (tough nylon with micro-carbon reinforcement)
  • Leave Go-Pro sized HD camera and/or Flir-sized Thermal Imaging camera attached when folded down for transport.
*In-house CNC, routing, and 3D printing available for custom attachments available upon request.
