MARINE RUBBER FENDER

Description:

The Type V rubber fender is known for its cylindrical shape, which sets it apart from other types of fenders. It typically features a hollow core, allowing for flexibility and deformation when subjected to external forces. The fender is constructed using high-quality rubber compounds that exhibit excellent resilience and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments.

One of the key characteristics of the Type V rubber fender is its superior energy absorption capacity. When a vessel makes contact with the fender, it compresses and deflects, dissipating the kinetic energy generated during impact. This cushioning effect helps prevent damage to both the vessel and the structure to which the fender is attached.

Type V rubber fenders are often used in scenarios where vessels need to berth against a quay wall or alongside other structures. Their cylindrical shape enables them to provide protection over a wide area, distributing the impact force evenly along the length of the fender. This feature helps minimize stress concentrations and reduces the risk of localized damage.

These fenders can be installed in various configurations, such as horizontally or vertically, depending on the specific requirements of the berthing facility. They are typically secured using chains, brackets, or other mounting systems, ensuring stability and proper positioning.
