Roller Fenders

SME’s roller fenders are widely used at berth corners, dock entrances, and around dry docks and other enclosed waterways. They effectively guide vessels and mitigate hull damage.

The wheel component of Roller fenders is mounted securely on a fixed axle, supported by a specialized frame, allowing it to rotate freely as the ship’s hull comes into contact or slides alongside it. Roller fenders harmoniously integrate substantial energy absorption capabilities with minimal reaction forces across all berthing angles.

Features

 

  • Excellent energy dissipation capabilities and minimal rolling friction.

 

  • Adaptable for standalone or stacked configurations, equipped with durable composite and stainless steel bearings.

 

  • Designed with a low-maintenance housing for durability and long-lasting use.

What makes us different

Compression deformation can reach 40%.

Advanced hollow rubber roller technology allows the roller to move and absorb greater energy when in contact.

The support steel frame can be customized at multiple angles

Description

 

The range of Roller fender Series specifications we are capable of producing encompasses:

D-060-20, D-075-25, D-090-30,

D-120-40, D-150-50, D-180-60,

D-210-70

*The above single specifications can be customized as single wheel, double wheel or multi-wheel combination.

 

Roller fender rollers are core to the design, featuring a hollow structure that enhances energy absorption. When contacting ships, the hollow structure deforms, absorbing impact energy. This ensures strength while boosting energy-absorbing capabilities.

 

Disperse and absorb energy via rotation, protecting ships and docks. SME engineers use nylon sleeves in axles to reduce friction, wear, and boost lifespan, ensuring stable, efficient operation in harsh conditions.
