Trelleborg Shibata 600x1200 Cylindrical Rubber Fenders for Boat Dock Bumper

Description

Cylindrical rubber fenders are essential marine safety devices designed to protect vessels and structures from impact during mooring or berthing operations. These fenders are cylindrical in shape, with a hollow core made of high-quality rubber or elastomer material.

The structure of cylindrical rubber fenders allows them to efficiently absorb and distribute the energy generated upon impact, reducing the potential for damage to both the vessel and the structure being protected. These fenders typically consist of multiple layers of rubber, each serving a specific purpose in absorbing and dissipating the energy.

Cylindrical rubber fenders are widely used across various marine industries, including ports, harbors, shipyards, and offshore applications. They come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate different vessel types and berthing requirements.

In addition to their excellent impact absorption capabilities, cylindrical rubber fenders also offer other advantages. They are resistant to harsh environmental conditions, including UV rays, ozone, and saltwater, making them durable and long-lasting. Furthermore, they require minimal maintenance, reducing overall operational costs.

Overall, cylindrical rubber fenders play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of vessels, structures, and personnel in marine environments. Their reliable performance and durability make them an ideal choice for any mooring or berthing application.

Specifications

Features

1. Design

Cylindrical fenders have a cylindrical shape, usually with a hollow center. They are made from high-quality rubber compounds that provide excellent durability and resistance to abrasion, weathering, and seawater.

2. Versatility

Cylindrical fenders come in various sizes and lengths, making them suitable for different applications and vessel sizes. They can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the requirements.

3. Energy Absorption

Cylindrical fenders are designed to absorb and distribute impact energy, reducing the force exerted on the vessel and the dock. Their shape allows for effective energy absorption and dispersion, preventing damage to both the fender and the protected structure.

4. Easy Installation

Cylindrical fenders are relatively easy to install. They can be mounted using chains, ropes, or other methods, depending on the specific installation requirements. They are also flexible and can adjust to both curved and flat surfaces.

5. Low Maintenance

Cylindrical fenders require minimal maintenance. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure their integrity and functionality. Cleaning with water and mild soap may be necessary to remove dirt and debris.

6. Longevity

Cylindrical fenders are designed to withstand harsh marine environments and have a long service life. The high-quality rubber construction ensures resistance to UV radiation, oil, and other chemicals commonly encountered in marine operations.

7. Customizable

Cylindrical fenders can be customized to meet specific requirements. Different rubber compounds can be used to achieve desired hardness, elasticity, and performance characteristics. Additionally, they can be manufactured in various colors for easy identification and aesthetic purposes.

Advantages

1. Durability: Foam fenders are made from high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear. This durability ensures that the fenders can withstand the heavy use and abuse in a factory environment.

2. Impact absorption: Foam fenders have excellent impact absorption properties, meaning they can effectively absorb and distribute the energy created during collisions. This helps to protect both the fender and the equipment or structure it is attached to.

3. Low maintenance: Foam fenders require minimal maintenance compared to other types of fenders. They do not need to be painted, and they are resistant to UV radiation, seawater, and other harsh environmental factors. This ultimately saves time and money in the long run.

4. Lightweight: Foam fenders are significantly lighter than other types of fenders, such as rubber or steel fenders. This makes them easier to handle and install, reducing the labor required for fender maintenance or replacement.

5. Versatility: Foam fenders can be customized to fit specific requirements and applications. They can be easily cut, shaped, or molded to accommodate different sizes or shapes of vessels or equipment. This flexibility ensures that the fenders can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your factory.

6. Cost-effective: Foam fenders are often more cost-effective compared to other fender options. They tend to have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance, reducing the overall costs associated with fender replacement and upkeep.
