Cone Fenders

Cone fenders are an improved version of Cell type Fender recently introduced and recommended for all type of applications including high tidal variation sites. This advanced feature of lesser height of fenders improves material handling capabilities of Deck / Vessel Cranes which reduces overall cost of the project. Due to the geometrical shape of the fenders it can deflect more and it can absorb more energy from any direction. Maintaining reaction force, but doubling energy absorption, can be achieved by using two identical cone fenders in a back-to-back arrangement. In order to distribute the reaction force, cone fenders are typically supplied with large fender panels, which keep the hull pressure low. Cone has Good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E/R); Integrated and fully-embedded fender flanges make assembly & installation simple; Good shear force resistance due to the large diameter of the fender flanges; large fender footprint with good force distribution could lead to relative light panel construction. Our cone rubber fender adopts tapered rubber with a steel frame at the head. This new structural design increases the design compressive deflection from 52.5% to 70%, on the condition that the reaction force is not increased. This type of rubber fender lightens the structure of a dock and thus reduces the construction cost of a dock. Therefore, a cone rubber fender, one of the best rubber fenders, is an ideal replacement of super cell rubber fenders. Our cone rubber fender is suitable for the docks that requires low reaction force and high energy absorption, the docks that requires low surface pressure of the ship's panel, off-shore open berths and large docks like oil wharf and container terminal, as well as all places that are suitable for super cell marine fender.
