The model 2900×1020 is the largest standard size of wheel fenders. With the increase of the size, the deflection capability rises. The maximum deflection length has reached 1200mm, which gives the foundation for the fenders to provide high energy absorption capability.
The wheel fenders(2900×1020) has the rubber wheel with the diameter of 1080mm and the height of 460mm. The size is large and the producing materials are high-quality. The rubber wheels are especially suitable for heavy duty requirements. The steel frame is used to support the rubber wheel, so that the whole equipment can be stably installed and provide long-time service. The rubber wheels are mounted onto the axle of steel frames. On berthing process, the wheel can rotate in a radius around the axle. Thus, the impact and the friction can be greatly reduced.
The features of the wheel fender determine that they are excellent solutions for narrow channels that need multiple-use fenders. The wheel fenders can work both as a cushion fender to prevent damage and as a guide system to help the vessels to berth. To make it short, wheel fenders are applicable for the entrance of locks, inland waterway channels, and other narrow or exposed areas.
