ABSTRACT:
The present invention is for a hovercraft load transport assembly which incorporates an air cushion assembly having a fan powered by an engine. The fan draws air into the device downwardly to fill the neoprene skirt of the device. This causes the device to essentially "float" above the ground on a cushion of air. The neoprene skirt is supported on a metal frame. In one embodiment, optional thrust tubes at the back of the device allow for directional movement. Thrust and throttle controls allow for variance in the lift, speed and movement of the device. There is also a load carrying and dumping receptacle which is hydraulically actuated.
