Hovercraft
Delivery of hovercraft.- By road transport (in so-called "European-standard" cargo trailers, about 2.45m wide). We order a truck and load your boat
- By rail (20-feet container). We order a container, make sure it is delivered to the train station, load your boat in the container and provide all necessary documents and approvals
- On a trailer (any car like Toyota Land Cruiser 200, GAZelle, UAZ etc.)The trailer dimensions allow transporting hovercraft on public roads. We register the trailer at a local traffic police office; the boat has all the necessary documents and requires no additional support or permits.
A hovercraft is designed to operate in harsh or extreme conditions akin to those in the extreme north, where temperatures reach up to 60 degrees Celsius below zero.
For this purpose, these air-cushion vehicles (ACVs) use extremely simple and reliable power plant: the Japanese Subaru engine, as well as a reduction drive, cardan drive and AMg screws (no belts or additional fans needed).The design of the boat has stood the test of time and has successfully been used in different regions of Russia and abroad.
The design of the skirt (flexible protection) enables the boat to move even with severe damage. You can always repair the skirt during the voyage. The skirt consists of separate elements and does not require complete replacement. All you need to do is repair or replace only the damaged part.
To use the ACV you don't need special training: the boat is easy to operate and maintain.
The boat is registered at a local office of the State Inspectorate of Small Vessels (Russian abbreviation is GIMS) that is the closest to the owner's place of residence.
