Yokohama Type Pneumatic Rubber Fender 2.5m x 5.5m Port Docking Fender

Ships usually make initial contact with the dock or another ship on STS operations at an oblique angle. In the case of solid rubber fenders or foam fenders, rated reaction force and energy absorption decreases considerably at inclined compressions compared with parallel compression. In order to compensate for the decrease of energy absorption at inclined compression, it is necessary to use larger sizes' Yokohama pneumatic fenders.

Distribution of load is also comparatively even because of the molecular freedom of air and high flexibility of the multi-layered cord-reinforced rubber membrane. This makes the body of a pneumatic rubber fender more shape conformant compared to solid or foam fenders, and thus able to better distribute the load along the hull of a ship or jetty structure during inclined compression.

Yokohama pneumatic rubber fenders can be easily handled and installed because of its light weight. It can resist the shearing force and maintain energy absorption level under inclined compressionup to 15 degrees. Meanwhile, provide the low and more even pressure from hull .
