Chain Tire Net Floating Rubber Fender

SunKai Chain Tire Net Floating Rubber Fender offers custom floating fender solutions for marine and port protection systems. Its pneumatic structure relies on compressed air to sustain buoyancy and keep the fender afloat on the water surface, while the external chain‑tire net upgrades wear resistance and impact buffering performance.

Fabricated from marine‑grade rubber and reinforced cord layers, this fender adopts integrated wrapping and high‑temperature vulcanization technology to secure excellent air tightness and structural durability. Available in multiple sizes and pressure grades, it is widely applied for vessel berthing, offshore terminals, ship‑to‑ship transfer and large‑tidal‑range ports.

Key Features

• Floating pneumatic structure, auto‑adapt to tide‑level variations

• Ideal for ports with large tidal differences

• Compatible with vessels of different drafts

• Chain‑tire net delivers extra wear‑proof and anti‑impact protection

• Air‑filled chamber ensures stable buoyancy

• High energy absorption with controlled reaction force

• Reliable compression performance under diverse berthing angles

• Light‑weight design for easy transportation and installation

• Deflatable construction for convenient storage and maintenance

Performance Features

Integrated Rubber Reinforcement Structure

SunKai Chain Tire Net Floating Rubber Fender are made of marine‑grade wear‑resistant rubber together with multi‑ply high‑strength cord fabric.

The fender body is formed by integrated wrapping and high‑temperature vulcanization without split joints. This improves air‑tightness and lowers risks of air leakage or cracking over long‑term service.

Chain Tire Net Protection System

The chain‑tire net fully wraps the pneumatic fender body. Upon vessel contact, rubber tires provide primary elastic cushioning before impact loads are transferred to the air chamber.

This design boosts abrasion resistance and guards the fender body against direct damage from steel surfaces, concrete edges and harsh marine operating environments.

Stable Energy Absorption Performance

The pneumatic structure achieves progressive compression under berthing impact. It absorbs vessel kinetic energy while confining reaction force within a reasonable range, protecting both vessels and dock infrastructures.

Marine Environment Resistance

The special rubber compound resists typical marine hazards:
‑ Seawater immersion
‑ Salt‑spray corrosion
‑ Weather‑induced aging
‑ Mechanical friction
‑ Surface impact

‑ Release partial air pressure prior to folding
‑ Store in dry and ventilated space
‑ Keep away from direct sunlight and abrasive ground surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a floating rubber fender require manual adjustment in large tidal range ports?
No. The compressed‑air chamber supplies buoyancy, so the fender stays afloat and automatically adjusts working height responding to tide changes and vessel draft shifts.

What pressure options are available for SunKai floating rubber fenders?
SunKai Chain Tire Net Floating Rubber Fender commonly adopts 50 kPa and 80 kPa initial internal pressure options. Different pressure grades deliver varied reaction‑force and energy‑absorption performance.

Can SunKai customize the floating rubber fender size?
Yes. Diameter, length, pressure rating, energy‑absorption capacity, chain‑tire net setup and connecting accessories can be customized according to vessel demands and installation conditions.

How is the floating fender installed on a dock?
The fender is generally connected via end flanges, shackles, mooring ropes or chains. Such connection system allows vertical movement following tide changes while maintaining stable protective performance.

What maintenance is required for the chain tire net floating rubber fender?
Routine checks on air pressure, rubber condition and chain‑tire net connections are recommended. Removing seawater residues and marine organisms helps sustain long‑term service performance.
