The size 2500×5500 of Yokohama fenders are comparatively larger than other rubber fenders. They are applicable for large docks and ship to ship operations. The Yokohama fenders need to be inflated with air or hydrogen when working, so they are also called Pneumatic fenders.
To carry out heavy duty, the Yokohama fenders need to be manufactured with high-quality rubber materials. Our reinforced and elastomeric rubber material is ideal for Yokohama fenders. They can provide high energy absorption and low reaction force. Their performance will not be reduced too much on inclined berthing.
Usually, Yokohama fenders will be equipped with protection layer, including chain and tire net and so on. The layer can reduce the damage on berthing process to fender body, so that the lifespan of the fenders can be extended.
The best advantage of the Yokohama fenders is to float on the water along with the rise and fall of the sea level. To keep their flexibility, the fenders are connected with chains as installation method.
