Griffon Hoverwork Ltd’s expertise is not just limited to the production of fast amphibious hovercraft.

CRICKET PITCH HOVER COVERS
We have produced hovering crop-sprayers (with hydraulically lowered wheels and sides so that they can travel on roads), hovering cricket-pitch covers (for Lord’s, Trent Bridge, Oval and Edgebaston Cricket Ground) and also a hovering reed-cutter for a company in Austria.
HOVER BARGES
In response to various enquiries regarding the moving of equipment to shallow water, soft land areas, Griffon Hoverwork Ltd have designed hover platforms (barges) capable of carrying loads from 30 tonnes to 125 tonnes. The platforms use many of the concepts developed by Griffon Hovercraft Ltd on their amphibious range of hovercraft, including marine grade aluminium hulls, diesel engines, lift power and segmented skirts.
