Applications
The 1000TD is the
smallest craft in the Griffon range which is fitted with a heavy
duty industrial diesel engine. Ideally suited to transporting up
to 12 people (or a total payload of 825kg in its full cabin
version or 1000kg in the flat/well deck version), this craft has
been very successfully operated in the civil engineering support
role, and the hydrographic and seismic survey roles. It has been
purchased by water and power authorities and, in the military
role, as a command centre for search and rescue (S & R), medical
evacuation and flood relief.
Griffon Hovercraft Ltd. (GHL) was the first company in the world
to fit a diesel engine into small to medium sized hovercraft (in
a 1000TD in 1983), and this transformed the reliability of
hovercraft overnight. Since that time, GHL has never again put
petrol engines into a hovercraft because of the unreliability of
the petrol engine's electrics in the harsh salt
water/spray/weed/sand/mud environment in which most hovercraft
work.
