Inflatable Heavy-Duty Ferries

The Hovercraft Ferryboat Can Support the Weight Of a Car

— November 24, 2015 — Autos
The Hovercraft Ferryboat is an ingenious water vehicle, built by Slovenian company Hovercraft, that can be easily inflated and launched from anywhere. This ferry comes in two sizes, one suited for personal use and another able to hold the weight of a car.

This vehicle is built from Hypalon, often used in rigid inflatables. When inflated, its bottom becomes completely flat and its sides become rigid, promising maximum stability and solidity. The boat is claimed to be practically unsinkable and incapable of overturning, making it safe for a wide variety of uses.

The Hovercraft Ferryboat is equipped with aluminum ramps which can used to load from any shore or even another boat or vessel. It offers promise for a wide variety of applications. It could be used to transport heavy equipment, animals or cargo but could also be used for rescue operations.
