The Rubber SD Fender is a high-performance marine fendering solution characterized by its square outer profile and a D-shaped hollow center. Manufactured from a highly durable rubber compound using an extrusion process, this fender offers a streamlined design with excellent impact resistance. It is engineered to absorb kinetic energy during berthing and mooring operations, effectively protecting both vessels and dock structures from costly damage. Its robust construction ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance, even in harsh marine conditions.
Key Advantages
- High Impact Resistance: The tough rubber construction is designed to withstand heavy rubbing, brushing, and high-impact forces, making it suitable for severe service conditions.
- Excellent Energy Absorption: The unique D-shaped inner chamber allows the fender to compress and deform upon impact, effectively absorbing energy and reducing the reaction force transferred to the vessel and the dock.
- Versatile Installation: With a flat back for easy mounting, the SD Fender can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally on various structures, including tugboats, workboats, quays, and pontoons.
- Superior Durability: Made from high-grade rubber compounds like EPDM, it is highly resistant to degradation from UV radiation, saltwater, and ozone, ensuring reliable, long-term performance.
Ideal for a wide array of applications, the Rubber SD Fender is a preferred choice for tugboats, pilot boats, commercial ports, and ferry terminals. Its design can be customized in various lengths and with pre-drilled holes to meet specific project requirements, offering a reliable and cost-effective fendering solution compliant with industry standards.
