The Model-1500 is the smallest hovercraft in Hover-Shuttle's range, but still features the technology & innovations of the larger models. Entrance is via a single sliding door which spans the total width of the cabin, the craft can be operated with the door in the open position. This model features folding sides with quick release supports, when the sides are down there's nothing to do except start the lift. The sides lift up & lock into place. This unique feature enables the craft to be transported at a legal road width behind a pick-up. This model comes with a drive on/off trailer specially designed for the application. The craft can be loaded and ready for transport within 10 minutes. The body is a one piece fiberglass foam sandwich construction with a molded upper body with a durable gelcoat finish. |
Major Advantages of foam sandwich construction are... superior thermal & acoustic properties with no joints or rivets to leak! The cockpit is well appointed with all controls & switches within reach of the operator. 10 forward facing seats can be fitted or up to 1 ton of cargo can be hauled, or a combination of both. Craft maneuverability is superior due to the innovative "Ele-Rudders" & "body tilt" systems which lean the craft into the turn. The skirt system is dynamically stable under adverse conditions with an impressive isolated obstacle clearance. The Engine is accessible from within the craft. Powered by a GM "Duramax" V8 turbo common rail diesel engine with a powerful 365 hp. |
