We consider the cold bosonic ensemble trapped by a helical interference pattern in the optical loop scheme. This rotating helical potential is produced by the two slightly detuned counter-propagating Laguerre-Gaussian laser beams with counter-directed orbital angular momenta +/- l (h) over bar. The detuning may occur due to rotational Doppler effect. The superfluid hydrodynamics is analyzed for the large number of trapped atoms in Thomas-Fermi approximation. For the highly elongated trap the Gross-Pitaevskii equation is solved in a slowly varying envelope approximation. The speed of axial translation and angular momenta of interacting atomic cloud are evaluated. In the T -> 0 limit the angular momentum of the helical cloud is expected to be zero while toroidal trapping geometry leads to 2l (h) over bar angular momentum per trapped atom.
