Products Introduction

Tug cylindrical rubber fender is a kind of port terminal equipment, mainly used to protect the collision between the ship and the terminal and prevent the ship from causing damage to the terminal. It is usually made of highly elastic materials, which can absorb the energy of a ship's impact and reduce the impact of the ship on the dock, thus protecting the dock structure. The tugboat cylinder fender has a cylindrical appearance and is filled with elastic material inside.

In addition, cylindrical fenders also have solid rubber fenders, which are mainly used to prevent friction and collision between the hull and the dock to protect the hull and dock from damage. Solid rubber fenders are usually made of rubber materials, which have good elasticity and durability and can withstand the impact and friction of ships.

The Feature of Tug Cylindrical Rubber Fender

* Tug cylindrical fender is applicable for the longitudinal and crosswise sway of ships when berthing at the dock.

* Tug cylindrical fender has low reaction forces, little surface pressure, and reasonable energy absorption.

* Tug fender is particularly well-su docks and robust dock structures.

* Cylindrical tug fenders are suitable for use on vessels of varying dimensions.

* Various installations styles such as horizontal vertical and diagonal, etc

* Simple and economical design.

* Easy to install and maintain.

* All sizes up to 2700mm diameter.

* Thick wall resists abrasion and wear.

* Progressive load-deflection curve.

* Proportional increase of energy and reaction

Types of Tug Cylindrical Rubber Fender

Bow and Stern Tug Cylindrical Fenders

These are considered as primary pushing fender against flared hull ship such as container vessel and often used on tugs operated in open sea conditions. We can supply tug cylindrical fenders up to 1060mm dia (41.7") size in continuous or jointed lengths.

Grooved pushing fenders (M, W, and Block Fender)

These are used as secondary pushing fenders and fitted on bow and stern as well as around curved hull shapes. These fenders offer a wide contact surface area to minimize pressure on the hull, design helps with grip. There are various shapes and profiles available in this fender category. For specific situations where low friction is needed during pushing, fenders can be attached using UHMWPE TCA or TCB composite materials, or a composite block fender.

Belting Fenders (D and Wing Fender)

Our TDD and TDC D shaped Fenders, as well as TSD and TSC Square shaped rubber fenders are commonly used as belting fenders. We can also provide other shapes such TDL Delta Type, TCW Cylindrical shaped Wing fender for these application. Such fenders are typically utilized on various types of boats like workboats supply vessels, tugboats, recreational boats, and yachts.

Transition Fenders (Solid Fender)

These are made generally from solid rubber blocks and hand shaped to allow smoother joint and transition between pushing and belting fender. Frequently, this particular fender is overlooked because it is seen as needing less attention, and people tend to focus more on the price rather than the quality when making purchase. This can cost the operator or the owner large sum of money as poor quality transition block fenders prematurely fails exposing the costly bow and stern fenders to more vulnerability and risk of damage.

Applications of Tug Cylindrical Rubber Fender

Bulk cargo berths
Fishing and workboat berths
General cargo quays
Pontoons and floating structures
Ro-Ro and ferry terminals
Tug boats

How to Install Cylindrical Fenders?

Cylindrical fenders are hollow cylindrical rubber products, which can be installed in 3 ways according to the fender specifications.
Suitable for small cylindrical fenders, which can be mounted on the dock with chains and U-rings.
Suitable for medium cylindrical fenders, fixed to the dock with a steel rod and two shorter chains.
Suitable for large cylindrical fenders, generally using a steel frame structure to make it more secure and firm.

FAQ

Q: What are the different types of rubber fenders?

A: There are a lot of fender types that can be used on the port, for instance: cylindrical type fender, V-type, A-type, M-type, super cell, and super cone.

Q: What is the use of rubber fender?

A: A fender is another term for a 'bumper', or a protective piece of rubber that is mounted on a mobile vehicle of some kind in order to protect it in the event that it bumps into something. Rubber D Fenders are designed to absorb the kinetic energy produced in a collision.

Q: What are the different types of boat fenders?

A: Designs include D type, cone type, drum type, fan-shaped, rectangular, and cylindrical. Solid rubber fenders have high energy absorption and reaction force, are low cost, have a long service life, and are easy to install and maintain. In addition to their use on vessels, they are often found protecting docks as well.

Q: Why do tug boats have tires?

A: Tires protect the steel of the vessel from being damaged and protects the paint and coating systems. Steel is very expensive to replace on towing vessels so tires provide a cushion and protection. Some of the best fenders are made from truck tires that have been cut into pieces and laminated into a log looking fender.

Q: What is the best material for fender?

A: Natural rubber is highly durable and the addition of SBR grants this product excellent tensile strength while also making the fender resistant to tearing under pressure. To ensure that a fender functions as efficiently as possible it needs to be able to maintain it's shape, even after absorbing the heaviest of impacts.

Q: What is a rubber fender?

A: A rubber fender, sometimes referred to as a rubber bumper, is a rubber piece that is mounted onto various vehicles, or objects, to provide protection in the event of a collision.

Q: What is pneumatic rubber fender?

A: Pneumatic fenders (also known as Yokohama fenders) are a very common type of floating fenders used to protect ships and vessels during ship to ship operations. They are also commonly used in seaports on quays to protect vessels during berthing operations.

Q: What is another name for a boat fender?

A: Boat fenders, often referred to as "boat bumpers" by new or novice boaters, provide a cushion between your boat and a dock, jetty or another boat.

Q: What is the difference between boat bumpers and boat fenders?

A: Often, the terms Bumper and Fender are often used interchangeably, but there's a distinct difference. Boat Bumpers are attached to the Dock, where Boat Fenders are attached to the Boat.

Q: What is the material of fender?

A: Well-known and frequently used are styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), or neoprene. Of all the SRs, SBR is the one most frequently used for fender compounds. SBR is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene which can be polymerized in any ratio.

Q: What is cylindrical fender?

A: The Cylindrical Fender was the first rubber fender type to be produced with a defined performance. Installation is simple by using chains, bars, ropes or specially designed ladder brackets, depending on the fender size and substructure. The Cylindrical Fenders' proportional increase of reaction force and energy absorption all the way to the rated deflection is an advantage resulting in softer berthing.
Cylindrical Fenders are available extruded and wrapped, depending on the size. They are available in outside diameter up to 2,700 mm and inside diameter ranging from 50 to 1,300 mm, variable in length up to 20 m. The length is mainly limited by handling and transport and typically, very long Cylindrical Fenders are used for tug boat bows and are often split in 3 sections. All Cylindrical Fenders could be delivered with the respective fixings (chains, brackets, support bar, ladder brackets).
Special dimensions and features such as pre-bending or jointing can be requested.
