Custom solutions

When a situation demands more than current technology can offer,Magnaclad has the capability to deliver an innovative solution. We draw on our extensive experience and our worldwide supplier network to develop custom solutions. In some cases we develop new technology; in other cases we integrate existing technology. This is what sets us apart from other resellers and suppliers.

Recently Magnaclad developed a mine-resistant Toyota Land Cruiser ambulance for a client who insisted on this combination. Traditionally a mine-resistant vehicle is heavy and the blast is deflected. Using a commercial vehicle such as the Land Cruiser presented a major challenge, because it does not have the payload capacity for a conventional solution. Magnaclad integrated various technologies to absorb explosions and protect a vehicle’s occupants against kinetic force. We upgraded the suspension to carry the additional weight and boosted engine performance to make the vehicle usable as an ambulance.

More than 12 years ago, Magnaclad developed technology to protect VIPs at their homes in South Africa. We designed an aesthetically appealing structure that is lightweight and transportable,yet capable of defeating a very high threat level, including AK47 rifles and armour-piercing rounds. Various refinements and enhancements have resulted in a system that offers considerable blast resistance and stops 12.7 × 99 AP rounds, shot at a range of 100 m, with shots grouped 100 mm apart.
