Arch fender with UHMW-PE top layer information:

Arch and element fenders have been successfully used across the world for many decades already. The relatively simple and very strong construction and durable rubber quality of these fenders provide very good protection for quay walls and corners.

Types and processing

Arch fenders consist of a single part and they are available in various heights and widths. The base of this type of fender consists of a steel plate with mounting holes for bolts which is vulcanised inside the rubber. As standard fenders are delivered made entirely from rubber, but if required an UHMW-PE surface layer can also be added.

Arch fenders can be mounted either horizontally or vertically using bolts. The ends can be angled or bevelled. FenderTec produces arch fender corners to protect quay corners, which are custom-made according to customer requirements.

Element fenders are available as standard in various sizes and, as with arch fenders, they are produced in a mould. Both ends are fitted with steel plates, which is vulcanised in the durable rubber. The steel plates contain mounting holes for attachment to walls and panels. The panel on the front side can consist of a UHMW-PE sheet or a steel panel.

Applications

Arch and element fenders are made to measure and they are used for the protection of:

  • corners and walls of quays
  • ports

FAQ

What is an arch fender with UHMW-PE top layer?

An arch fender with a UHMW-PE top layer is a protective fender shaped to provide impact absorption and surface protection where vehicles or equipment contact a structure. The design typically incorporates a front-facing panel that can consist of a UHMW-PE sheet or a steel panel. Steel mounting plates with preformed holes are commonly used to attach the fender to walls, panels, or supporting structures. Contact our team for application-specific advice and compatibility with existing mounting systems.

What is UHMW-PE used for?

UHMW-PE is an engineering polymer used as a wear- and impact-resistant facing material in applications where low friction and surface durability are required. In fender systems it serves as a replaceable top layer to reduce abrasion between contacting surfaces, limit noise, and improve sliding contact. Its general attributes make it suitable for environments requiring a tough, low-friction interface. For guidance on material selection relative to specific service conditions, consult our technical team.

How is an arch fender mounted?

Arch fenders are mounted by fastening the integrated steel plate assembly to a supporting structure using the provided mounting holes. The mounting arrangement is intended for secure attachment to walls, panels, or frame elements; appropriate fasteners and load-bearing arrangements should be selected according to the structure and application. Installers should verify alignment, fastener torque, and support capacity. Our technical staff can advise on mounting best practices and compatibility with different wall and panel constructions.

What are the maintenance requirements for an arch fender?

Maintenance typically consists of regular visual inspections for wear of the UHMW-PE facing and corrosion or loosening of the steel mounting plates and fasteners. Cleaning with mild detergent and water is usually sufficient to remove deposits; avoid aggressive solvents that may affect ancillary components. When the front panel shows excessive wear, it can be replaced with a new UHMW-PE sheet or a steel panel depending on the design. Contact our team for recommendations on inspection intervals and replacement procedures.
