Wheel Fenders(1980×760)

As one type of rolling fender, wheel fender has been widely used because of its excellent performance. Especially, the dimensions of wheel fenders are comparatively large and they can be used for some docks with heavy-duty requirements.

The model 1980×760 is pretty large in size compared with other types of fixed fenders, but it is only the middle size for wheel fenders. The numbers 1980 and 760 refer to the diameter and the thickness of the rubber wheel respectively. Large rubber wheel as the cushion will definitely needs large supporting frame as well. The bottom longer side of the supporting steel frame has reached 2750mm.

One of the merits of large fenders is that they can endure large impact force. What’s more exciting is that the rubber wheels of the fenders are manufactured with high-quality rubber materials. Deshalb, they rubber wheels can not only provide high energy absorption but also serve for a long time due to the robust and resilient rubber materials.

The rubber wheels are mounted onto the axle of the supporting frame. They can rotate when stroke by the berthing vessels. That’s an ideal feature for helping vessels to move towards the right berthing direction. Thus, wheel fenders are frequently applicable for the entrance to locks, inland waterway channels and other narrow areas.
