Pier fender (parallel moving)
FenderTeam

The PM-Fender is an individually designed complete fender system. A turning lever-arm mounted between the structure and the panel restrains the panel movement during the entire fender compression, allowing it to move only parallel to its mounting irrespective of the impact level and angle. The advantages are obvious:

- The system provides equal energy absorption capacity at any impact level
- No second contact point between the ship and the fender system can occur
- Reaction forces are much lower compared to conventional fender systems
- Lower reaction forces result in lower hull pressures and lighter structures which can lead to substantial savings in the complete project

This fender is uniquely designed for each project. FenderTeam would be pleased to receive your design input allowing us to select the correct type, size and overall layout for the PM-fender.
