HOVERCRAFT;
Available as a *-stroke **0HP or *-stroke *5HP variant & taking
up to 4 adults with speeds up to *0mph.
The Hovercraft SPX is the perfect all in one craft to take on
the role of other vehicles for traditional coastal/inland/border
patrol. It is also just about the only vehicle suitable for many
areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles & can operate over
mud, riverbeds, tidal regions, rapids, shingle beaches, open water,
grass, sand, swamps, marshland, weeds, submerged plants, snow,
desert, ice, roads, shallow lakes & dried up salt marshes.
The new TCC *-layer composite High-Density Polyethylene
(HDPE), is lightweight, extremely buoyant, yet far stronger &
more impact resistant than brittle glass fibre (GRP) which cracks
& breaks on impact. You can hit HDPE with a mallet or jump up
& down on it without cracking it, this means the hovercraft can
withstand operational use, impacts, knocks & bumps that destroy
other craft.
The Hovercraft skirt material is a unique specially developed
weave & fabric combination with anti-rip properties &
incredible wear resistance. It means you can operate in greater
safety & will not be forever changing or repairing skirts.
Individual skirt sections & the unique IAPSS skirt design gives
far greater flexibility, continued operational ability & high
speed safety.
Hovercraft have been used in many applications & by
various clients in severe conditions, just a few amongst these
include:
They have been used by the UN world food organisation.

went through the French Centre de Securite Des Navires marine
certification approval. This stringent process involved

Hovercrafts have been used for many applications including:
Border/coastal/inland patrol, anti terrorism, drug smuggling
patrol.
High speed marine sub surface & ground scanning survey &
detection.

do not create the problem with downdraft associated with
helicopters, & a fraction of the cost to purchase, operate
& maintain. Rescuers can reach floods, mud, sand & ice
victims without exposing rescuers to life threatening danger.
Distribution of famine or flood aid support craft. Relief work
(United Nations).
Civil emergency & infrastructure support
Oil industry survey, exploration & pipeline patrol.
Electrical Power-line patrol & safety.
Remote mining access support vehicle.
