Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders

Floating pneumatic rubber fenders are known as Yokohama fender or Yokohama-type pneumatic fenders. Pneumatic rubber fenders are made of the synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheet with compressed air inside. The insider air can enable it to float on the water and work as a shock absorbed between two ships (ship-to-ship), or between ships and berthing structures when they come alongside each other on the water.

Boat dock fenders have become an ideal ship protection medium against collision among ship-to-ship (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB), they are widely used for large tankers, vessels, docks, harbor wharfs and ocean platforms.

Note:
(1)Performance Tolerance:±10%;
(2)Other specifications can be manufactured according to client's requirement.

Yokohama type floating pneumatic rubber fenders are manufactured and tested fully compliant with ISO 17357. Floating pneumatic rubber fenders can be easily handled and installed with guy-rope or guy-chain because of their lightweight. It can resist the shearing force and maintain energy absorption level under inclined compression up to 15 degrees. Meanwhile, provide low and comparatively even hull pressure. Consisted of several synthetic-cord layers and tough abrasion-resistant rubber, they have consistent performance even under rough conditions and cyclic load. The maintenance cost and damage risk are minimized too.The best material also ensures self-buoyancy and extremely long service life. Pneumatic fenders are available from 500 mm to 4,500 mm in diameters, and from 500 mm to 9,000 mm in length. All sizes of pneumatic rubber fenders are available as sling-type or with a heavy-duty chain & tire net. We also supply vertical hydro pneumatic fenders for submarines.
Note: The floating pneumatic rubber fenders have sometimes been colloquially referred to as "Yokohama Fenders" or "Yokohama type fenders" - ISO 17357:2014 Ships and marine technology - High-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders.

Advantages:

A. Compliance with ISO 17357:2014

B. Low Reaction Force and surface Pressure

C. Adaptable to the Tide

D. Easy and fast Installation

E. Optioanal chain and-tyre nets for heavy duty applications
