Maintenance Requirements of Armored Vehicles

More and more people are opting for armored vehicles to ensure complete safety and security when they, or their loved ones, travel on the road. Accordingly, there are varied bulletproof vehicles for sale from various civilian armored vehicle companies.

Now, it goes without saying that an armored vehicle will require regular servicing and maintenance just like ordinary vehicles. Servicing is scheduled by manufacturers at regular intervals to keep the vehicle running smoothly and also increase its life expectancy.

However, armored vehicles feature upgrades like layers of armor plating in the doors and frames, bulletproof glass in the windows, bomb protection blanket on the floor, run-flat tires on the wheels, etc. All these materials pack up oodles of additional weight that is bound to encumber the vehicle performance. In fact, regular ballistic steel armor can add as much as 1800kgs to the vehicle. This calls for modifications in the engine, axles, suspension, etc. to power the heavy load. It follows that the additional weight will still burden the vehicle and requires more frequent servicing and maintenance. Only then can the armored vehicle keep running properly.

In contrast, Armormax is a revolutionary armoring material developed by International Armoring Corporation (www.armormax.com) that has been independently certified as the lightest armor in the world. It proves to be a mind-boggling 60% lighter than regular armoring materials and therefore does not encumber the vehicle as much. In fact, the average added weight ranges from a mere 150kgs to 500kgs depending on the level of ballistic protection required by the customer.

This way IAC is able to ensure that both the vehicle performance and appearance is not affected by the armoring. Their bulletproof vehicles for sale continue to remain discreet on the roads and run smoothly just like their factory versions. To add to this, Armormax is also able to reduce the service requirements as well as increase the life expectancy of the armored vehicle!
