Hov Pod PRC Characteristics
Hovercraft Construction
This hovercraft has a double skin hull with Kevlar and aluminium impact
zones and runners, and excellent floatation properties. Very stable craft
providing a vantage point for standing in the craft for search and rescue in
reed beds. Very easy for rescue, with the side of craft providing easy
access for body recovery, with two men rescuing a third body. Total payload
for water starts are 250 kilo or 551 pounds for craft with the 52HP engine,
for land-to-land start, up to 400 kilos or 800 pounds. The 65HP engine will
lift 310 kilos on water, or 683 pounds. (Many small hovercraft have
difficulty starting on water)
This hovercraft is very easy to tow
Rescue organisations have told us that large commercial hovercraft have
required very expensive transporters and police escorts to get to emergency
situations along narrow roads! Needless to say, emergency rescue situations
require fast response. The Hov Pod PRC trailer allows the hovercraft to be
loaded by one man in under 2 minutes.
A Hovercraft that's fit for purpose
In the past, hovercraft design has been either focused on cost savings
through the self-build kit approach, designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts
or at the other end of the scale, too big, too expensive. Our design
approach has been to take a 20th century invention, to create a 21st century
vehicle to allow the operator to fly/glide over water and land, through
areas that have been no-go zones for conventional craft
A Hovercraft that's easy to maintain
Routine maintenance to the Hov Pod PRC is very simple.
Why don't you compare our hovercraft design to others?
People compare Hov Pod to other marine products, but are often not familiar
with essential aspects of the Hov Pod design. For example we have carefully
considered the interaction of many factors such as ease of use,
manufacturing quality, passenger carrying capacity, safety, durability,
handling, customer support, comfort, and serviceability to develop a craft
of the very highest quality that offers great all round value for money,
there is no comparison. We have deliberately focused on product quality
rather than price, and to understand our company mindset, you should read
our hovercraft design philosophy.
