Hovercraft : RIVAC 680
7 Person commercial rescue
and military Hovercraft RIVAC-680
The Rivac AH680 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 while the single diesel engine assures reliability
and durability. A petrol engine may be fitted for increased performance
and load capability if requested.
