Griffon Hovercraft Ltd’s expertise
is not just limited to the production of fast amphibious hovercraft.
There are many such commercial and industrial applications for the
air cushion principle, and Griffon Hovercraft Ltd leads the world
in designing and building such unique solutions to satisfy their customers'
particular problems.
We have produced hovering crop-sprayers (with hydraulically lowered
wheels and sides so that they can travel on roads), hovering cricket-pitch
covers (for Lord’s Cricket Ground) and also a hovering reed-cutter
for a company in Austria.
In response to various enquiries regarding the moving of equipment
to shallow water, soft land areas, Griffon Hovercraft Ltd have designed
hover platforms (barges) capable of carrying loads from 30 tonnes
to 125 tonnes. The platforms use many of the concepts developed by
Griffon Hovercraft Ltd on their amphibious range of hovercraft, including
marine grade aluminium hulls, diesel engines, lift power and segmented
skirts.
