Fendering - Chain Through & Chain Tyre Net
Our chain through and chain tyre net floating fenders are specifically designed to withstand the high energy impact occurring during berthing of all vessels and ship to ship transfers in open sea. A chain tyre net provides even further energy absorption and protection.
Floating foam fenders are used in ports and harbours around the world and users range from the largest oil tankers to small passenger ships. many naval vessels also insist on foam fenders as they are non marking, cannot deflate and require minimal maintenance.
These fenders provide high energy absorption with a low reaction force - making them superior to similar sized pneumatic fenders.
By eliminating valves, inflation gear and constant pressure check, Trelleborg CRP floating foam fenders need little or no maintenance, making them more reliable and economical than a pneumatic model.
Our fenders are constructed from energy absorbing polyethylene foam encapsulated within a resilient polyurethane elastomer. The polyethylene foam is bonded together by a continuous thermolaminating process which eliminates the use of adhesives which can break down under long and arduous use.
The reinforced polyurethane elastomer skin is resistant to abrasion, ultra violet degradation and temperature fluctuations. If the skin of the fender is damaged, the effect on performance is negligible. The closed cell foam interior will not absorb water, therefore the fender will not sink.
The standard colour for high visibility is orange, with options for black, grey or other colours on request. Fenders are available complete with chain tyre net or alternatively a flexible central tension member. Mooring assemblies including swivels, shackles and chains are available, as is a complete installation service if required.
We offer an extensive range of standard sizes, but also offer a design service to produce fenders to precise customer requirements and our design engineers are pleased to assist in defining the correct specification and quantity to suit any application.
