Pneumatic fenders with tire net

Pneumatic fenders are inflatable rubber units used as a cushion between vessels or between a vessel and a berth. They absorb kinetic energy during berthing and transfer operations by deforming under load, reducing hull pressure and preventing direct contact. Pneumatic fenders are often used for ship-to-ship transfers and alongside berthing operations. Yokohama fenders are a widely recognised example of this general product type. For application-specific advice, you can contact our team.

Pneumatic fenders with a tire net combine an inflatable rubber body with an external tire assembly that provides additional abrasion protection and impact resistance. They are employed where increased surface durability is required, such as frequent berthing, ship-to-ship transfers, and areas with hard or uneven contact points. The tire net protects the fender body from chafe and concentrates wear on replaceable tires. For guidance on suitability for a given operation, contact our team.

Maintenance of pneumatic fenders with a tire net typically involves regular visual inspection of the rubber body, tire net condition, fastening hardware and valves, plus checks for air loss and external damage. Damaged tires or net components should be replaced to maintain protective function. Maintenance intervals and procedures depend on operating conditions and manufacturer recommendations. Refer to the product documentation for detailed instructions and contact our team for clarification or technical support.
