Unit Element Rubber Fenders are a high performance, modular system. Elements can be combined in unlimited permutations of length, orientation and Energy Index to suit a wide variety of applications. The simplest Unit Element system is the UE-V fender which employs pair(s) of elements and a structural UHMW-PE face shield in a choice of black or high visibility colors –all non-marking.

UE-V fenders combine high energy capacity with low friction face and high wear resistance. They make an economic alternative to cylindrical and Arch fenders for a variety of general purpose applications suitable for many ship types including Ferries, General Cargo, Barges etc. System fenders combine the same Unit Elements with steel frames (fender panels) and UHMW-PE face pads. These systems are widely used for where larger vessels berth – including Container Quays, Tanker Terminals, Bulk Cargo and RoRo berths.
