Description
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.
Used by the oil industry in remote locations in central Asia &
Middle East.

went through the French Centre de Securite Des Navires marine
certification approval. This stringent process involved
technical/fire/safety inspection, flooded buoyancy tests &
operational use.
They have been approved by Harrods of London for sale.
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.
Rescue work from flooded areas, mud, sand, tidal areas. Hovercraft
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.
River, lake & port geological surveys.
Mud & riverbed sampling.
Environmental projects & clean-up operations.
Airport bird scaring/support/rescue services.

repair/maintenance.
Transport, service & safety craft for river & low tide
coastal work where **-hour access is vital for staff safety.
Fish farm & low tide access.
Leisure & family fun. Rental Operations, Corporate
entertainment. Education, schools. Summer fetes & shows.
