Pneumatic fenders are constructed from reinforced rubber compounds, forming a cylindrical air-filled body operating under low internal pressure. Unlike traditional solid rubber fenders, these utilize the elastic compression of air for impact absorption, offering superior performance under dynamic loading.
They are also equipped with heavy-duty aircraft tires for added durability.
Certified according to ISO 17357:2002, pneumatic floating rubber fenders are often referred to as “Yokohama Fenders” or “Yokohama-Type Fenders.”
Key Advantages:
Excellent energy absorption with low reaction force.
Wide contact area, resulting in low surface pressure.
Capability for angled compression (lateral deflection).
Outstanding performance under extreme temperature conditions.
