The Advantages and Disadvantages of Rectangular Fenders/Square Fenders

Advantages:

1. The transformation of its design compression is large (under the condition that the counter-force doesn’t increase). Comparing with V type fender and M type fender, the rectangular fender increases 20% and 8%, respectively, so it increases the energy absorption greatly.

2. With high energy absorption, reasonable reaction force and good anchorage performance applicable for all kinds of docks and boats

3.,The rectangular profile is the most rigid of rubber fender designs

4.,This versatility in protecting both structures and vessels is enhanced by a wide range of available size

Disadvantage:

1. The stress of rectangular is too high which acting on ships’ plate, so some ships with low strength to side plate like oil tankers are not suitable for using it.

;installed vertically and flatly and it doesn’t need to install anchor chain to support.
