Protection Levels
OVERVIEW
With Level B4 armour, you will have protection against almost all handguns such as 9mm, .40, .45 & .357 firearms.
This level of armour is sufficient to protect you from hijackings, smash and grab attempts, as well as from brick/rock throwing. The glass used also provides protection against fragmentation. Level B4 adds approximately 110-140 kg of additional weight because of the premium lightweight armouring materials we use.
This additional weight still remains under the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and has a very minimal effect on acceleration, handling and performance, leaving no need to upgrade the brakes and suspension. The turnaround time for a Level B4 build takes on average around six-eight weeks.
OVERVIEW
With Level B6 armour, you will have protection from just about any weapon like AK47s, R1 assault rifles and sniper rifles.
This level of protection will allow you to travel protected into hostile territories. Our Level B6 adds approximately 350-500 kg of additional weight because of the premium lightweight armouring materials we use.
This additional weight still remains under the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), leaving no need to replace any other mechanical components. The turnaround time for a Level B6 build takes on average around eight-ten weeks.
Unrivalled Armoured Protection: Engineered for Excellence
Every aspect of our work adheres to international specifications. Our protection levels and build quality proudly surpass Armscor certification levels—the stringent acquisition agency for the South African Department of Defence. This commitment guarantees that every armoured vehicle leaving our facility meets the most demanding requirements for armoured protection in the country.
Innovation & Expertise: The Armoured Mobility Advantage
From our highly skilled technicians and state-of-the-art armouring factory in Sandton, Gauteng, through to strategic partnerships with leading international suppliers for ballistic materials, we are not just integrating seamless armoured solutions; we are actively pushing the boundaries in armoured technology. Our continuous research and development ensures we deploy the lightest and most durable ballistic materials available in the country.
Our specialist technicians collaborate hand-in-hand with our suppliers on every vehicle build, guaranteeing uncompromising quality and absolute protection. Before any Armoured Mobility vehicle is released from our factory, it undergoes stringent inspections. We never compromise on our standards, passionately committed to producing exceptional armoured vehicles. This dedication is underscored by our 2-year warranty on workmanship and a 3-year warranty on our armoured glass, providing you with peace of mind. Should a claim arise, your vehicle will undergo a thorough assessment before any warranty work is performed.
MATERIALS
We make use of premium certified ballistic opaque materials throughout our Armoured vehicles. Our continuous in-house research and ballistic testing of materials ensure we are always offering the best protection to our clients who may come under an extreme line of fire.
KEVLAR
Kevlar is an organic lightweight fibre that delivers high tensile strength, durability and improved protection. This fibre is ultra-malleable and can be moulded seamlessly into every corner of the vehicle and when attached to ballistic steel or ceramic, it achieves a higher level of protection.
DYNEEMA
Dyneema is a lightweight composite ballistic material that is known to have one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material worldwide. It is paired with other armour solutions to maintain the highest levels of protection.
Ballistic steel, or armour steel, is one of the most commonly used materials when armouring vehicles. This steel provides protection from incoming projectiles. We make use of certified lightweight ballistic steel, in conjunction with other composite ballistic material, to achieve some of the lightest armoured vehicles built.
BALLISTIC CERAMICS
Other materials used in vehicle armouring include Aluminium Carbide, Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide which are all substantially lighter than steel and preferred for certain applications.
BALLISTIC GLASS
Ballistic / Bullet-resistant glass is one of the essential materials used in armouring. Shooters and other street criminals usually aim for the windows because of their ease of accessibility. Hence, ballistic glass is used all around the vehicle. Ballistic glass is made up of optically advanced and highly resistant materials that will stop most bullets.
