When it comes to making a vehicle safe against fire arms of different caliber and power, Alpine Armoring has its EEE approach. That is Engineering, Experience, and Emphasis on details. By Engineering, we mean an evolving and never-ending research to make sure that final design produces the right result (lighter vehicle with most protection possible at an affordable price). Then, ballistic tests are amply conducted, both independently and at our plant, to guarantee the result. By Experience, we mean allowing only those craftsmen with several years of experience in this field to manufacture the best possible armored vehicle for the client. By Emphasis on details, we mean no compromising areas, PERIOD. With 80,000 square foot of plant capacity producing quality made armored cars, vans, and trucks, we are proud to say that throught our entire existence in the market for over 15 years, NOT EVEN ONE incident of penetration has ever existed on any of Alpine's armored vehicles, despite hundreds of attacks reported on our vehicles worldwide.
What makes Armored SUVs, especially tall 4x4 vehicles, so unique from the competition is our emphasize on the exact position of the center of gravity. At Alpine Armoring our engineers have developed pattented designs for the armoring (even at levels A9 & A10) to always keep the center of gravity exactly at the same location (or lower) as it was prior to armoring. That way, the entire vehicle will be balanced and handed much better considering the increased weight. Whether we use ballistic steel or composite material, we make sure the vehicle will handle and maintain a safe ride thought its process. To certain SUVs, we sometimes add a bulked/partition flushed to the rear cargo door on the inside, or right behind the last row of seat. This is done to reduce weight and create ease of operation for the rear cargo door. The armoring covers all opaque and transparent areas where the occupants may be at risk even at the slightest chance. That includes the entire floor (anti-mine), roof (often at an angle less than 90 degrees), all overlap areas, wheel wells, firewall, fuel tank (explosafe self-sealing design plus armor plating, run flats, battery and electronic computer module.
We at Alpine Armoring consider armoring sedans at high level to be the most labor intensive among all the other types of vehicles. The reason is our engineering staff is constantly aware of the importance in maintaining the ease of ride and allowing for the optimal performance at the end. To achieve this we invest hundreds of design/ production hours into each vehicle to guarantee the best performance upon completion of the vehicle. The armoring covers all opaque and transparent areas where the occupants could be at risk even at the slightest chance. That includes the entire floor (anti-mine), roof (often at an angle less than 90 degrees), all overlap areas, wheel wells, firewall, fuel tank (explosafe self-sealing design plus armor plating, run flats, battery and electronic computer module
For our law enforcement/Police community, we are proud to say that we custom-design every vehicle to meet their specific needs. What makes Alpine's armored SWAT trucks (Bulldogs and Pit-Bulls) markedly different than those of the competition is the full integration of each client's need to the final design of the vehicle. With that in mind, the final vehicle will be not only supremely protective against high power rifles, even Armor Piercing rounds, but also will be a spacious and comfortable vehicle for the crew while being practical in every aspect. This way, Alpine's SWAT trucks are not only functionally better than the competition's, but also more qualitatively armored at the end. Unlike SUVs and sedans, these trucks are built in a homogenous way using only hardened ballistic steel (at least 3/8" thick and more) with specially manufactured ballistic glass/polycarbonate being as thick as 3" plus numerous add-ons.
Unlike the competition's CIT vehicles, every single cash carrying vehicle (vans and trucks on various US and European make chassis) is uniquely built for each client. Whether the protection is for level A3, A6, or A9, whatever the inferior layout may be, whether tellers may be needed for check cashing type van, or a needc for custom-built roof hatch for emergency escape, Alpine Armoring manufactures those trucks with utmost attention to details considering how competitively priced such vans and trucks must be for each client. Roof hatch, dual A/C, heater, and numerous interior layouts are standard for each client.
