Harbor fender Donut

for pontooncylindricalslip

Donut fenders are designed to float up and down with the tide on a circular mono-pile either driven into the bed or mounted on the face of a quay wall. Donut fenders are suited for lock entrances, turning structures, approach channels and breasting dolphins. Not only do Donut fenders rise and fall with the tide but due to the low friction guides located inside the fender they also rotate around the pile assisting in lining up vessels for mooring or guiding though a channel. Construction of a Donut fender is much the same as a Foam Filled Floating Fender giving them all the ideal properties for optimal, maintenance free use. As with the foam fenders any variation of size is feasible allowing the fender to be sized to fit its purpose, they are unsinkable and can be finished in a variety of colors. Generally Donut fenders are designed with residual buoyancy to present the berthing face above the water line but some installations have utalised separate buoyancy chambers and submerged bodies for low impacts, all variations are possible with this versatile fender. - It is also possible to install any combination of mooring points or secondary fenders to the donut fender. These can be designed bespoke for your application.
