The JettyGuard Rubber DC Fender is an expertly extruded rubber profile engineered for a wide range of medium-duty applications. Combining the flat-backed stability of a D-fender with the installation flexibility of a cylindrical bore, it provides excellent, reliable protection against impact and abrasion. Ideal for outfitting workboats, tugs, pilot boats, and smaller quays, this fender is a proven and cost-effective solution for preventing hull and structural damage.
Key Advantages
- High-Abrasion Rubber: Manufactured from a high-performance marine-grade rubber compound (EPDM/SBR), our DC fenders are built to resist wear, UV radiation, and ozone degradation, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
- Versatile Application: Perfectly suited as a primary fendering system for tugboats and pilot boats, or as protective belting on pontoons, small jetties, and quay walls where moderate impact absorption is required.
- Simple Installation: The central cylindrical bore allows the fender to be easily secured using a support bar, chains, or tensioned cables. This method accommodates curved surfaces and simplifies maintenance or replacement.
- Unique DC Profile: The flat rear face provides a large, stable contact area for bolting directly to a surface, while the rounded front face offers effective impact distribution and a smooth contact with vessels.
Available in a comprehensive range of sizes to meet specific energy absorption and application requirements. Our Rubber DC Fenders can be supplied in custom lengths, pre-drilled, or angle-cut to facilitate seamless integration into your vessel or port infrastructure. We offer both standard black and non-marking grey options to prevent hull staining. Protect your valuable marine assets with JettyGuard’s durable fendering solutions.
