Solid rubber fenders have high energy absorption and reaction forces, as well as advantages such as low cost, long service life, and simple installation and maintenance. They are commonly installed as protective devices in docks and shipyards.
Floating rubber fenders are a relatively new type of fender equipment. Compared to solid rubber fenders, their main characteristics are: large compression deformation, large energy absorption, small reaction force, self floating, and easy installation. Usually used in situations such as ship to ship, ship to wharf cargo transfer, and docking; Due to its self floating characteristics, it is particularly suitable for installation at docks with significant changes in tide levels. Among them, filled rubber fenders are particularly suitable for applications in harsh environments, such as offshore drilling platforms, due to their advantages of maintenance free and long service life.
