Sling type fenders are net type fenders without chains or tyre nets, but with a specially processed outer rubber double-layered cover, which consists of a single cover and an extra tyre cord layer, resulting in better resistance to operational damages.
A net-less type with stronger body reinforcement, equipped with towing ring on both ends for installation. The sling type fender is very light and easily handled,suitable for fishing ship or tugboat.
Characteristics of floating pneumatic fenders:
1.Safety and Reliability
Using compressed air as damping medium,the rubber fender can transform flexibly under pressure,with large contact area,small reaction and absorb large amount of energy.
2.Safe for excess load
When berthing,the ship is almost at a certain angle,the pneumatic rubber fender can realize contact in a certain angle by bringing full play to its performance.
3.Adaptable to the tide
Floating on the water surface,even the ship fluctuate and sway resulting from ebb and flow and waves,the pneumatic rubber fender bears less friction,which would be no harm to coating surface of ship and rubber fender.
4.Simple installation
The weight of floating pneumatic fenders are supported by water on which it floats, therefore, the floating pneumatic fenders can be simply installed on the wharf and anchor mast.
