[ HEAVY-LIFT DELIVERY DRONE ]

DJI FlyCart 100: heavy-lift delivery drone, and what it can carry in Canada

  • ■Payload in CanadaAbout 60 kg under 150 kg (DJI rates 85 kg)
  • ■Canadian 150 kg lineAbove 150 kg operating weight needs an SFOC
  • ■Range and flight time12 km · 14 min (dual battery, 149.9 kg)
  • ■Empty weight55.2 kg lifting · 60.2 kg winch, no batteries

The FlyCart 100 is DJI's largest delivery drone: an eight-rotor aircraft that carries cargo on a 30 m winch or a 10 m lifting cable, flies up to 12 km on two batteries and has radar, LiDAR and a built-in parachute. It moves tools, parts and supplies across terrain trucks can't cross: hills, water, bush and steep slopes. In Canada, a drone over 150 kg needs a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC), so plan on roughly 60 kg of cargo, not DJI's 85 kg rating.

[ KEY FEATURES ]

What the FlyCart 100 does well

01

Two ways to carry

The flagship winch lowers and lifts loads on a cable of up to 30 m, with a weighing function and a hook you open from the app. The dual-battery lifting system carries a load on a fixed 10 m cable.

02

Range on two batteries

Up to 12 km and 14 minutes of flight at a 149.9 kg takeoff weight with two DB2160 or DB2212 batteries. Under an Advanced certificate the drone must stay in sight, so most routes are much shorter.

03

Sensing and a parachute

Front, rear and downward radar, LiDAR and a four-camera vision system for obstacle sensing up to 60 m, plus an integrated parachute that opens from 100 m.

04

Built for weather

Sealed against dust and rain except the motors (IP55), works from −20 to 40 °C and in wind up to 12 m/s (about 43 km/h): usable in a Canadian spring or fall, never in freezing rain.

05

Shared batteries and power

The DB2160 battery and the C12000 charger or D14000iE generator are the same as the Agras T100's, so a farm or contractor running a T100 can share batteries and charging.

06

Routes and fleet

Plan routes, run deliveries and watch the drone from the DJI Delivery app and DJI DeliveryHub. A second remote controller supports handover between two pilots.

Plan around the load you can legally fly

DJI's 85 kg figure assumes a 170 kg takeoff weight. Under Canada's 150 kg line, with two batteries, the cargo is closer to 60 kg. Start from the heaviest load you need to move, the distance and the site, then decide whether that fits.

Remote fields and camps

Moving tools, parts and supplies across water, bush or hills that trucks can't cross.

Utilities and contractors

Equipment to towers, slopes and worksites without a road.

Research stations

Supplies to plots, wetlands and field sites with no access.

Emergency response

Supply drops where ground access is cut off.

Common trigger events

  • ■A recurring load has to cross terrain with no road
  • ■Crews spend hours carrying gear on foot
  • ■You already run an Agras T100 and its batteries
  • ■A project needs materials moved up a slope

Usually not the starting fit

  • ■Loads over about 60 kg without an SFOC (see the regulations guide)
  • ■Deliveries beyond visual line of sight without approval
  • ■Spraying or spreading: that's the Agras T50 or T100
  • ■Flying in freezing rain or icing

[ FAQ ]

Frequently Asked Questions

DJI rates it at 85 kg with two batteries at a 170 kg takeoff weight. In Canada a drone above 150 kg operating weight needs a special flight operations certificate (SFOC). With two batteries the drone weighs about 85 kg (lifting) or 90 kg (winch) before the hook and cable, which leaves roughly 60 kg of cargo under the 150 kg line, less with the hook and cable. Weigh your setup.

It is a medium drone (25–150 kg), so the pilot needs a Transport Canada Advanced certificate and the drone a declaration for the operation, kept at or under 150 kg. Above 150 kg, or beyond visual line of sight, the operation needs extra approval. See the drone licence guide.

Yes, within the drone's operating manual: Canadian rules allow a slung load only as the manual describes, otherwise an SFOC is needed, and you must not create a hazard when releasing or dropping cargo.

Up to 12 km with two batteries at a 149.9 kg takeoff weight, in DJI's windless test at sea level. Real range drops with wind, cold and heavier loads, and the drone must stay within visual line of sight under an Advanced certificate.

Yes. It takes the DB2160 (and the newer DB2212), charged on the C12000 or the D14000iE generator, so batteries and charging can be shared with an Agras T100. See the field kit guide.

It can move tools, parts, fencing supplies and feed to places a truck can't reach. We haven't found published Canadian farm cases yet, so talk to us about a trial: list the loads, distances and sites, and check the weight, airspace and cable rules first.

We send an itemized quote: aircraft, winch or lifting system, batteries, charger or generator and any care plan. Ask for a quote.
