Wheel Fenders(2550×970)

The model 2550×970 of wheel fenders refer to the wheel fenders whose rubber wheels are 2550mm in diameter and 970mm in thickness. This dimension of the wheel fenders is the second largest standard size of wheel fenders. They are normally used for large docks.

Like the roller fenders, wheel fenders are combined with two parts. One is the rubber wheel working as the cushion to protect and the other one is the steel frame working as the supporting part. These two parts together can form a robust and resilient wheel fender. They can meet the requirements for high energy absorption and low reaction force.

The excellent performance relies on two aspects. One is the rubber material of the wheel. The wheel is made of highly elastomeric and resilient rubber materials. The second one is the special design of the wheel fenders. The rubber wheel can rotate when being hit by the berthing vessels. This mechanism helps to reduce the impact force and the friction. Because of the two reasons, wheel fenders can always provide excellent physical performance.

Wheel fenders are mostly positioned at the dock corners. This is to help to guide the berthing vessel towards the right direction in convenience. They are usually applicable for the entrance to lock, dry docks, inland waterway channels and other narrow areas.
