Rescue or Recovery? In rescue situations, time is important. Hov Pod rescue hovercraft is designed to be easy to transport by conventional trailer towed by standard car – no need for expensive transporters or police escorts; when time is critical, the ability to get to where help is needed fast makes all the difference between rescue or recovery. In tests conducted with safety organisations, we have introduced a number of Hov Pod commercial hovercraft options to suit different configurations to meet the various requests we have received from fire, police, rescue and other commercial organisations. We have just released a new version of the Hov Pod Hovercraft that we think could play a valuable and important role in rescue, in situations where larger hovercraft are restricted by access. Constructed from High Density PE, far stronger, more buoyant than glass fibre. Can load, unload from trailer in 30 seconds, and easily transportable by standard car to reach rescue victims. No expensive transporters required or police escorts, so you can quickly travel to the victims by road. Easy to use, quick to deploy, to reach flash flooded areas, or to reach mud and ice/ hypothermia victims when time is critical. Operators can be trained in less than one day. Anti plough system, good on water start characteristics. Coming soon - New 120 HP Turbo 4 stroke engine Sufficient power to take driver, paramedic and victim. Wide range of rescue options, such as search lights, lifting points, GPS/VHF Radio mountings. Affordable Please see latest images of the Hov Pod SPX on our news page
