| The AH680RI is a tough ‘Work Horse’ style hovercraft which can be relied
upon to work all day in harsh and remote environments. It has been designed
for good load carrying capacity and durability while at the same time having
low maintenance requirements. The low skirt pressure design makes the AH680RI
less sensitive to skirt damage or terrain porosity. The semi-inflatable
construction provides a large and stable work platform with excellent lifting
capacity. For transport or storage it may be packed into a 20' shipping
container. The inflatable collar provides a resilient buffer around the
perimeter of the hull. The single diesel engine assures reliability and
durability. A petrol engine may be fitted for increased performance and
load capability.
