Wheel fender is one type of rolling fenders. In general, wheel fenders are similar to roller fenders which also belong to rolling fenders. The model 1300×510 of wheel fenders refer to the fender whose rubber wheel is 1300mm in diameter and 510mm in height.
The wheel fenders contain two parts. The main part is the elastomeric rubber wheel. Manufactured with high-quality rubber materials, rubber wheels are resilient and robust and they can provide high energy absorption and low reaction force. The other part is the steel frame which is used to support the main part and to provide a installation method.
