Supplier of heavy lift commercial hovercraft
Managers of Hovertrans Inc. have over 30 years of experience in the design, manufacture and operation of heavy lift commercial hovercraft. This unique experience and knowledge has made Hovertrans World leaders in heavy lift commercial hovercraft design.


Extensive experience
General purpose load lifting commercial hovercraft have been in use in the Arctic regions of the Yukon River where two hovercraft barges provided round the clock, roll-on roll-off, ferry services to the construction of the Trans Alaskan Pipeline project.
Hovertrans drilling platforms were used successfully in Scotland where attempts to take geological samples from an extensive area of peat bog marshland had been hampered for 30 years due to the unstable terrain. Another example: during expansion of plant facilities on Das Island located approximately 110 miles off the coast of Abu Dhabi, plans to construct temporary port facilities to handle equipment movements were dropped in favour of using a large amphibious hovercraft with a payload of 250 tons.
