Tugboat Cylindrical fender:

Tugboat Cylindrical Rubber Fenders are made of high abrasion resistance rubber with good resilience properties for required applications. These fenders are easy to install and dismantle with users friendly fixtures, tool tackles. They are very popular with small port craft owners and tug owners.



Various attachment methods are used for securing tugboat fenders to the hull. Smaller fenders up to 500mm diameter are usually fixed using a longitudinal chain running down the bore of the fender, which is connected back to the hull with turnbuckles to tension the chain.Larger fenders also use a longitudinal chain down the bore, but this is generally supplemented by circumferential chains or straps which assist in holding the fender into the vessel bulwark.



Tug Cylindrical Fenders are produced in straight lengths but can be pulled around radiused hulls provided that the inside radius is at least four times the outside diameter of the fender. Where the radius is smaller than this, please consult us for advice.

W Type Fenders:

W Type Rubber Fenders are specially designed as vertical fenders for the bow and stern of tugs. The unique profile of W Fender is able to accommodate the tight radius and closely follow the ship’s contours.

M Type Fenders

M Type Rubber Fenders are also used for pushing. They provide a large flat contact face for very low hull pressures – useful when working with soft hulled ships such as tankers and bulk carriers. The grooved profile gives extra grip and the M Fender can easily be mounted around on straight sections and fairly small radii at the bow and stern quarters of a tug.
