High Energy Absorption in a Compact Design
HPi Fenders are high-performance rubber fender systems designed for demanding marine berthing applications. Their efficient energy absorption and controlled reaction force allow smaller fender sizes to achieve the required performance, resulting in a more compact fender system.
The multi-layer rubber and steel construction provides durability and strong impact resistance. HPi Fenders also support horizontal or vertical mounting of the rubber legs, giving engineers greater flexibility when designing systems for different berth layouts and structural requirements.
HPi Fender Sizes
SME Marine manufactures HPi Fenders in the following standard sizes. Different configurations can be selected to suit project requirements and berth conditions.
Flexible Design for Different Berth Layouts
The installation design of HPi Fenders allows larger front panels to increase the contact area. As a result, the panels distribute berthing loads more effectively and help absorb impact forces during vessel contact. In addition, UHMW-PE facing pads provide a low-friction contact surface, which helps reduce friction and wear as vessels move along the fender.
For greater installation flexibility, engineers can mount the rubber legs horizontally or vertically to suit different berth layouts and structural requirements. Furthermore, they can customize the fender height, length and rubber compound to meet specific project conditions. Engineers can also adjust the fender length while maintaining the required height and rubber properties. This approach provides greater flexibility when designing HPi Fender Systems for different marine berthing applications.
Larger Contact Area
Larger front panels distribute berthing loads over a wider contact area, helping manage impact forces during vessel contact.
UHMW-PE Facing Pads
Low-friction UHMW-PE pads help reduce friction and surface wear when vessels move along the fender face.
Flexible Leg Orientation
Horizontal or vertical rubber leg mounting provides more options for different berth layouts and structural conditions.
