Hov Pod Characteristics

Hovercraft Construction From 2008.

All Hov Pod hovercraft will be constructed from High Density PE, same material as used for F1 race crash barriers. The Hov Pod SPX offers unique properties; the material is far stronger than glass fibre, and is very buoyant.

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 SPX 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. Very easy to use, similar to motorbike controls.

A Hovercraft that's easy to maintain.

Routine maintenance to the Hov Pod is very simple.

Rescue Hovercraft

A Rescue Hovercraft that speeds up your time to get into the water.

Speed is of essence in a rescue situation and getting the Hov Pod Hovercraft quickly to the scene could not be easier. You can simply disconnect the hovercraft from the trailer and fly off when you reach your destination. As the Hov Pod flies over any surface you do not need to worry about tides or finding a prepared surface to work from.

Hov Pod Hovercraft offer Simple Controls and move Fast!

The simple throttle and steer controls and construction from the very latest in materials give you piece of mind to get on with the job. It is available as a 52HP or 65 HP variant with a top speed of approx. 40mph and incorporates 65 separate skirt segments for maximum safety of operation in remote areas.

A Rescue Hovercraft that operates easily in critical environmental areas.

For operation in critical environmental areas you will find that the Hov Pod is the ideal craft because it creates little or no wake and flies completely clear of the surface with no exhaust or propeller in the water.
