The Arch dock rubber fenders(also known as AN Fender or SX Fender), despite their simple design, are some of our best-selling single marine fenders. We never compromise on quality, using only the finest rubber materials and superior processing techniques.

Features

 

  • Arch Rubber Fenders are a new generation of V-type fenders designed for high-performance dock protection.

.

  • Small reaction force and high energy absorption.

 

  • Arch dock fenders can be installed with UHMW-PE panels or connected to steel plates. It has evolved into Arch-B and Arch-P types, which can be combined horizontally and vertically to cope with more complex environments.

 

  • Low cost and easy installation and upgrading.

 

  • Suitable for small and medium-sized berths and the inside of the dock.

What makes us different

Strong performance and higher wear resistance.

The leg design adopts arc transition to effectively disperse stress and extend the product life.

It has excellent corrosion resistance and all-weather use ability.

Improved Arch Rubber Dock Fenders

 

Improved Arch Rubber Dock Fenders serve ports, harbors, and shipyards with a simple yet effective design. They protect vessels and quay structures during berthing operations. Compared with older solutions, the improved models absorb more energy and distribute stress more evenly. This performance makes them suitable for many types of vessels, from fishing boats to large carriers.

 

Arched rubber dock bumpers are available with either a steel front panel or a UHMW-PE pad. These components reduce friction with the ship’s hull and limit shear forces during berthing. The design lowers surface pressure, protects the fender body from wear, and ensures smoother contact under tough conditions. By reducing shear stress, the system extends the fender’s service life and lowers maintenance needs for both the fender and the port.

 

SME offers these dock protection systems in multiple sizes and performance levels. Small fishing ports, mid-size commercial terminals, and large container berths can all find suitable options. The modular design makes installation fast and replacement simple. Operators can minimize downtime during maintenance and keep their ports running smoothly.

 

SME applies strict quality control to every Arch Rubber Dock Fender. we select high-grade raw materials, monitors each production step, and tests all finished products. Every stage follows international standards. All fenders also meet the PIANC 2002 Guidelines for the Design of Fenders. This compliance guarantees safety, reliability, and long-term durability.
