Fender Types
There are two basic types of pneumatic fenders that comply with the international standard: Type I (net type) and Type II (sling type). The most appropriate type for a given application will depend upon how it is to be used and what the requirements of the facility are.

Type I
Xincheng Type I fenders are fitted with a chain-tyre net (CTN). This is a lattice of used tyres connected by a network of horizontal and vertical chains,which adds further protection to the fender body.The chains are galvanised for greater corrosion resistance and covered by rubber sleeves to prevent abrasive damage to the outer rubber. The horizontal chains are fastened at each end to a ring shackle. CTNs are not available on fender sizes below 800 x1200 mm.

Type I fenders are the most common in use.
Type II
Sling or hook type fenders are effectively a Type I fender without the CTN and the ring shackles. A lifting eye is fitted to each end and the fender
is slung by chain or wire rope. Type II fenders are available across the whole size range.
