FENDER CONFIGURATION

With or Without UHMW-PE Facing

Square Fenders can be supplied with different contact arrangements to suit the requirements of each berth. For applications that need a low-friction contact surface, a UHMW-PE facing panel can be incorporated into the design.

Square Fender Configuration Options

Flexible Configuration

Depending on the berthing conditions, the fender can use a plain rubber contact surface or a UHMW-PE facing panel. The selected arrangement helps meet the project's contact and friction requirements.

Moreover, customized dimensions and pre-bending options provide greater flexibility when the quay structure or installation space requires a specific configuration.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Flexible Installation

Square Fenders offer practical installation options for docks, quay walls and other berthing structures. Their shape allows installers to adapt the arrangement to different mounting surfaces and available space.

For project-specific requirements, SME Marine can provide standard or customized dimensions. Pre-bending is also available where the installation surface or structure calls for a curved arrangement.

As a result, project teams can select a suitable fender layout according to the berth geometry and vessel contact conditions.
