HoverFlyer 580 Trailer
The trailer is specifically designed for carrying the HoverFlyer 580 hovercraft. It features a quick tilt aluminium deck and a strong winch for fast launching and recovery of the hovercraft. The tilt system is operated by a winch and cable system which has proven faster and more reliable than complicated powered systems.
All steel structure is hot dip galvanised for corrosion protection.
