Commercial hovercraft, rescue hovercraft, whatever your application, our commercial hovercraft suit companies that need to reach places that are out of bounds to conventional craft & therefore allow access to areas that no other vehicles can reach.
Hov Pod hovercraft are ideal for rescue, survey, environmental and research projects, mud sampling, military applications, bridge maintenance and repair, industrial work & they are ideal for patrolling shallow water areas, tidal mud, sand, ice, grass etc.
Hov Pod Hovercraft are suited to commercial applications - whereas most small hovercraft are manufactured from glass fibre which shatters on impact, Hov Pods are manufactured from HDPE - this material is impact resistant, very buoyant yet lightweight. Commercial craft need to be impact resistance and a recent case proves the Hov Pod Strength where in use the craft hit a large piece of concrete and just bounced off it, a glass fibre craft would have simply shattered. Our skirt fabric is unique and is almost impossible to rip.
The Hov Pod 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.
When speed of access is important, hovercraft are true all-terrain vehicles, and can travel from land to sea & back to land without delay, simply by a flick of the wrist. With no propeller to snag on under-water obstructions, hovercraft can safely operate in areas out of bounds to conventional marine craft.
They can even navigate fast flowing rivers, so in all sorts of terrain, and any time of the tidal day, they can deliver personnel precisely to where they need to reach, and fast.
