The V Fender is a rigid and simple moulded one piece fender type. V Fenders are available in different cross sections, SX and SH. The main difference is the width of the fender head and resulting surface load. Each type can be equipped with an additional embedded steel plate in the fender head (SX-P and SH-P). This allows the installation of an UHMW-PE frontal plate, a steel fender panel or the mounting of the fender unit behind a pile construction.
Both V Fenders (SX and SH) are available in standard heights from 250 to 1,000 mm, in standard length ranging from 1,000 to 3,500 mm, each in 3 different main rubber grades*
SX FENDERS
The SX Fender is the standard V Fender in the traditional one piece design.
SX-P FENDERS
The SX-P Fender has an embedded steel plate and can therefore be equipped with an UHMW-PE frontal plate or a steel panel or be integrated into another structure.
SH FENDERS
The SH Fender has a wider frontal face than the SX Fender resulting in a lower surface load.
SH-P
The SH-P Fender has an embedded steel plate and can therefore be equipped with an UHMW-PE frontal plate or a steel panel or be integrated into another structures.
