Yokohama fenders are also called pneumatic fenders because they need to be inflated with air or hydrogen on working. This can provide large compression capacity for the fenders, which determines that the Yokohama fenders can offer high energy absorption and low reaction force.
Yokohama fenders compared with other types of fenders are newly invented fenders, but they make a quick rising on the rubber fender market. They have unparalleled advantage over other fenders on docks with large tidal variations and ship to ship operation. When the fenders are not needed, they can be deflated and restored in the warehouse. They can be easily installed and uninstalled, and they can save a lot of space in storage.
Yokohama fenders are manufactured with high quality rubber materials so that they are applicable for the heavy duties. The reinforced and elastomeric rubber material ensure that the Yokohama fenders can provide high energy absorption and low reaction force. Large shear forced can also be absorbed by them.
