Roller Wheel Fenders are commonly used on the berth corners and dock entrances, also widely installed along the walls of dry docks and other restricted channels to help guide vessels and prevent hull damage.

Roller Wheel  Fender sare commonly installed along the walls of dry docks and other restricted channels to help guide vessels and prevent hull damage. It also be used on berth corners and lock entrances where lower energy capacity is required. The wheel is mounted on a fixed axle supported by a special frame. Composite bearings eliminate metal to metal contact and allow the wheel to rotate freely, even at full deflection, without substantial friction. Roller Fenders combine reasonable energy absorption with low reaction at all berthing angles. Large contact areas from the tyre ensure reasonable hull pressures. Performance can be modified where required by adjusting the initial pressure. The heavy duty steel supporting frame is designed to allow easy access to all moving parts. Corrosion traps are eliminated, contributing to a long and low maintenance service life.
