Payload selection

Which Payload Class Fits Your Mission?

Choose by mission role as well as headline payload. The three platforms address different combinations of flexibility, range and single-trip carrying capacity.

30 kg Modular Platform

M630

  • Flexible payload integration
  • Equipment transport
  • Inspection payloads
  • Multi-purpose missions

Choose when mission flexibility matters as much as payload capacity.

30 kg Cargo Transport Platform

XJ-TD30

  • Remote delivery
  • Mountain logistics
  • Forestry operations
  • Field transport

Choose for dedicated cargo missions across remote or difficult terrain.

Explore XJ-TD30 →

50 kg Heavy-Lift Platform

YS-F50

  • Heavier materials
  • Industrial equipment
  • Larger cargo loads
  • High-payload logistics

Choose when higher single-trip payload capacity is the primary requirement.

Selection inputs

What to Consider When Choosing a Cargo Drone

Payload Weight

Start with the maximum weight of the cargo, including the mounting or lifting system.

Cargo Dimensions

Weight alone is not enough. Cargo size and shape can affect aircraft configuration and flight stability.

Transport Distance

Required route distance influences battery, payload and operating configuration.

Terrain & Elevation

Mountain, forestry and remote-site operations may create different flight requirements.

Loading Method

Consider sling loads, cargo boxes, quick-release systems or customized payload mounts.

Operating Environment

Wind, temperature, obstacles, takeoff area and destination conditions should be evaluated.

Mission Frequency

Repeated transport operations require consideration of batteries, charging and turnaround requirements.

Visit the FAQ page
What is a heavy lift drone?

A heavy lift drone is a UAV designed to carry larger payloads than standard commercial drones. These drones are commonly used for cargo transport, equipment delivery, industrial logistics, emergency supply and operations in areas where road access is limited.

How much weight can a cargo drone carry?

Cargo drone payload capacity varies by aircraft design, propulsion system, battery configuration and operating conditions. AeroSightX currently offers heavy lift cargo drone platforms with payload capacities of up to 30 kg and 50 kg, suitable for different industrial transport and delivery requirements. Customization is supported.

Which cargo drone can carry a 30 kg payload?

For payload requirements up to 30 kg, AeroSightX offers the M630 and XJ-TD30 cargo drone platforms. The appropriate model depends on factors such as cargo dimensions, flight distance, terrain, loading method and mission requirements.

Which drone can carry a 50 kg payload?

The AeroSightX YS-F50 is designed for heavy-payload missions with a maximum payload capacity of up to 50 kg. It can be considered for industrial material transport, remote supply delivery and other operations requiring higher carrying capacity. Actual payload and flight performance depend on operating conditions and mission configuration.

How much does a heavy lift cargo drone cost?

Heavy lift cargo drone prices depend on payload capacity, flight range, battery configuration, cargo or lifting system, communication equipment and customization requirements. Instead of using a single standard price, AeroSightX recommends selecting a configuration based on the intended mission. For more information, see our Cargo Drone Price Guide or contact us with your payload weight, transport distance and operating environment for a suitable configuration and quotation.
