Roller Wheel Type Marine Rubber Fender Drum Rudder Fender

Xifan Marine offers both roller and wheel type fenders for the use of corner dock protection and water way guidance.  Both Port and Dock Wheel Roller Fenders are ideal for enabling passing ships to glide effortlessly around the corner or side of a dock.  Wheel fenders are more suitable in applications where impacts are likely and energy absorption is a necessity while roller fenders are sufficient in applications where ships are required to be guided along rather than absorbing the energy of a significant impact.

Roller wheel type fender is a kind of boat dock fenders that commonly used on the berth corners and dock entrances also widely installed along the wall of dry docks and other restricted channels to help guide vessels and prevent hull damage. They can be grounded side-by-side to guide the vessel, vertically to deal with high water level variation or can be mounted at an angle for the large hull angles.

Roller wheel type fenders also are used on mounted on a fixed axle supported by a special frame. Composite bearing eliminates metal to metal contact and allows the wheel to rotate freely, even at full deflection, without substantial friction. Roller wheel type fenders combine reasonable energy absorption with low reaction at all berthing angles. Large contact areas from the tire ensure reasonable hull pressure. Performance can be modified where required by adjusting the initial pressure. The heavy-duty steel supporting frames are designed to allow easy access to all mooring parts. Corrosion traps are eliminated, contributing to a long and low maintenance service life.
