HYDRA-TERRA-M
The military version of the Hydra-Terra is the
superior replacement unit for the aged LARC-V
Speed on land exceeding 70 miles per hour!
Inside work deck measuring 8'2" X 30'
All wheel drive with balloon tires for sand
operations
The M class hydra-Terra is powered with a 300
hp. Caterpillar 3126 diesel engine, an Allison Automatic transmission, and
conventional axles.
Our Hydra-Terra vehicle is:
-
Brand
new.
-
Built
with mass production components available world wide.
-
Down
time is minor due to readily available maintenance components.
-
Fast,
capable of speeds in excess of 70 M.P.H. on land.
-
Our
full suspension system provides much more off road capability and is all
wheel drive.
-
On
the water we are much more maneuverable and stable. Speed is comparable.
-
Power
is available to both land and water propulsion at the same time and can
provide 100% of available power simultaneously.
-
Width
of 8’6” is legal width in the U.S. and also provides space saving for
loading onto ships, aircraft for transport. 50 sq. ft. of savings per unit
compared to a LARC.
-
The
cargo deck is 29’ long in the 35’ long version 13’ longer than the
LARC.
-
The
Hydra-Terra is UNSINKABLE ! We have designed our vehicle to
have foam filled compartments that provide positive buoyancy even if the
plugs are removed from the craft and allowed to flood. (The salvage cost to
the U.S. to recover just 1 LARC that has sank from BMU1 (Beach Master Unit
1) alone would pay for
several Hydra-Terra units).
-
Greater
stability, this has been proven by the U.S. Coast Guard testing between a
LARC and the Hydra-Terra.
-
Free-board, we have 48” of free-board as compared to 10” on the LARC.
