Pneumatic Floating Inflatable Yokohama Fender for Ships and Docks

Due to the special property of the Pneumatic Floating Yokohama Rubber Fender, a low reaction force at low deflation, these type of fenders are extensively used offshore. Specially for Ship to Ship (STS) transfer of oil & gas or chemical related products, during off-shore constructions of platforms, wind turbines and others. Also in ports if sensitive products or equipments have to be passed from ship to pontoon/quay or v.v.

The dimensions of the Pneumatic Floating Rubber fenders are:
- The diameters vary from 0.3 up to 0.6 meters.
- The lengths vary from 4.5 up to 9.0 meters.

The production quality of the Pneumatic Fenders is controlled and certified normally in the production facilities.

Mostly the Pneumatic Fender is protected by a “Netting”, existing of used car or plane tires bound together by chains or by “Ribs” (Rubber Rib Integrated) in the Pneumatic Fender. The Rib construction is lighter and less voluminous.
The standard color of the Pneumatic Rubber Fender is black. For war ships like frigates and submarines the fenders are colored in grey.

Normally a large stock of Pneumatic Fenders is available in The Netherlands.

As a specialist in rubber technology we do inspections, refurbishment and repairs. Also we can re-net the Pneumatic Fender for an optimal protection.

1)Outer rubber layer
Rubber layer that covers the outside of the fender to protect the cord layers and the inner liner rubber from
abrasion and other external forces.

2)Inner rubber layer
liner of a rubber membrane that seals the pressurized air inside the fender.(In general,we will make some inner
rubber container in advance and inflate them.few days later,we will test the pressure again.The one which it's
pressure did not change is good one.We will put it into store and when clients order we can use it directly.
This can ensure every fender we send to client is airtight one)

3)Synthetic-tyre-cord layer for reinforcement layer
layer made of synthetic-tyre-cord fabric which maintains the internal air pressure of the fender.

4)Flange opening
which is mounted on the fender to which an air valve can be adapted.(our flange are all
Embedded welding, very stable)

5)Initial internal pressure
Air pressure at which an uncompressed fender operates.

Advantages Fender and heavy-duty netting:

1.All fenders are supplied with SGS or ABS certificate proving the fenders are manufactured according to ISO 17357.

2.All safety valves (if applicable) are certified.

3.All components are certified and/or tested on break load.

4.All fenders are standard equipped with airplane tires. They are very rigid and contain no steel, so they will not rust in (sea-)water.

5.All chains are protected with rubber sleeves, even through the airplane tires. This will prevent the chain “cutting” the tires
