Our Roller Fenders are a critical asset for modern port and waterway management, specifically designed to ensure safe navigation and berthing in confined spaces. The primary function of the roller fender is to guide vessels by rotating upon contact, which effectively absorbs impact energy while reducing shear forces on both the vessel and the berthing structure. This innovative design prevents costly damage to ship hulls and quay walls, making them an indispensable solution for narrow channels, lock entrances, and dry docks.
Key Advantages
- High energy absorption: The fender deforms upon impact to absorb the kinetic energy of a berthing vessel, providing robust protection for both the structure and the ship.
- Low rolling resistance: Equipped with composite bearings and a smooth roller surface, these fenders rotate easily with the vessel’s movement, minimizing friction and abrasion.
- Guides vessels safely: By rolling along the ship’s hull, these fenders help steer the vessel through tight passages, reducing the risk of collision and ensuring a smooth transit.
- Heavy-duty design: Constructed with a high-quality rubber roller and a robust steel frame, our fenders are built to withstand harsh marine conditions and heavy usage with exceptional durability.
- Low maintenance: Featuring a corrosion-resistant frame and maintenance-free bearings, our roller fenders are designed for a long service life with minimal upkeep required.
Ideal for a range of demanding applications, Roller Fenders are frequently installed at dry-dock entrances, berth corners, quay walls, and lock gates. Their reliable performance and durable construction make them the preferred choice for port authorities and marine engineers seeking to enhance operational safety and protect valuable infrastructure.
