Pier fender (UHMW-PE panel)
DockGuard

Energy/Technical: UHMW-PE Sliding Fenders can be supplied pre- drilled for easy installation and chamfered to avoid snagging. They are available in a full range of colours – either to suit the aesthetics of the installation, to match corporate colour schemes or in high visibility colours for added safety and easier quay/jetty identification.

Key benefits: UHMW-PE fenders are an environmentally responsible alternative to tropical hardwoods and are fully recyclable. They also provide the benefits of higher wear resistance (even greater than steel) and lower maintenance; as they do not split or rot and are fully resistant to infestation from marine borers.
The low friction coefficient and high abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE provides an ultra smooth surface for the vessel to slide easily along the face of the fender. The range of colours enables matching to suit the aesthetics of the installation and/or corporate colour schemes; or you can select high visibility colours for added safety and easier quay/jetty identification.

Applications: UHMW-PE Sliding Fenders are used in many applications including the replacement of timber piles, beams and dolphins, as well as other applications where lumber would have been the traditional fendering material. They are also ideal wherever the requirement is for a durable sliding surface rather than energy absorption.
