Dock Rubber Fender Durable Material Weather Resistant Easy Installation High Energy Absorption

Specifications

Superior Energy Absorption with Minimal Dock Stress
The arch-shaped design provides a stable load distribution pattern, absorbing impact energy efficiently while keeping reaction forces low. This prevents structural stress on quays and protects vessel hulls, even in high-frequency berthing operations.

High Durability Reinforced Rubber
Manufactured using a specialized blend of natural and synthetic rubbers with anti-aging, anti-UV, and anti-ozone additives, the fender maintains elasticity and resists cracking over prolonged exposure to marine environments. Reinforcement layers embedded within the rubber improve tensile strength and prevent deformation under heavy impact.

Modular and Space Efficient Installation
Pre-fabricated mounting holes and steel backplates allow for quick and secure installation. The modular design enables partial replacements without dismantling the entire fender line, minimizing downtime and operational disruption. Optional frontal pads reduce surface friction and extend the fender’s life.

Consistent Performance Across Environmental Extremes
The fender maintains consistent compression and recovery characteristics in extreme temperatures, from sub-zero winter conditions to hot tropical climates. Its robust structure ensures reliable performance across tidal ranges, wave action, and frequent vessel contact.

Applications

Offshore Supply Bases
Protects quays and floating platforms against repeated vessel impacts while ensuring smooth berthing and operational efficiency.

Ferry and Ro Ro Terminals
Suitable for ferries, passenger vessels, and Ro-Ro ships requiring reliable low-reaction fenders for quick docking and undocking cycles.

Industrial Shipyards and Construction Docks
Used to protect dry docks, ship repair berths, and construction platforms where repeated high-energy contact is expected during vessel handling.
