CH-53 Heavy Lyft PVC Patch — Your Ride's Here. All 36,000 Pounds of It.
Forget five stars and a Prius — this rideshare shows up with three turboshaft engines and a seven-blade rotor.
The CH-53 'Heavy Lyft' patch is a morale classic for the heavy-lift helicopter community — a tongue-in-cheek play on the popular rideshare app, reimagined for the crew that moves everything the Marine Corps can't carry on its back. The CH-53E Super Stallion is the largest and most powerful helicopter in the U.S. military inventory, capable of externally lifting 36,000 pounds on a single cargo hook — enough to carry a Light Armored Vehicle, a downed aircraft, or 16 tons of supplies 50 nautical miles and back without breaking a sweat. Built by Sikorsky and powered by three General Electric T64 engines, the Super Stallion first entered service with the Marine Corps in 1981 and has deployed to every major conflict since — from Beirut and Desert Storm to Afghanistan and Iraq. It can carry 55 combat-loaded Marines, refuel in flight, and operate from the deck of an amphibious assault ship. Its successor, the CH-53K King Stallion, carries even more and flies even further. Whether you fly the Echo or the Kilo, wrench on it through the night, or just appreciate a helicopter that can deadlift a small building, this patch lets the world know you're part of the heaviest rideshare program on the planet. No app required — just a landing zone and a radio call.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
