Yokohama fenders are also called pneumatic fenders. With the development of shipping market, Yokohama fenders are widely used all over the world. They are excellent fender solution for the docks with large tidal variation. This fender allow the vessels to berth safely on any sea level.
Yokohama fenders are manufactured with high-quality and wear-resistant rubber materials. The reinforced rubber material makes it possible for Yokohama fenders to endure large compression. Even under excessive load compression, the fenders can provide low reaction force and reasonable energy absorption. The highly elastomeric rubber materials are perfect for the fenders.
To protect the fender body, several type of outer protection layers can be chosen. In different conditions, different layer can provide certain functions. No matter what type of layer, they can reduce the damage to the fender body and prolong the lifespan of the fenders.
Because the Yokohama fenders need to float on the water and to remain at certain place, installing with chain is the best installation method for them. This installation method is also economical and efficient. It can save lots of time and money for buyers on installation.
