Rubber Solid S-Fenders

A Rubber Solid S-Fender, often referred to as a square fender or square shaped fender, is a solid rubber marine fender shaped to provide a contact surface between vessels and berthing structures. It is designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy during berthing and mooring operations, reducing stress on hulls and quay structures. The solid construction provides consistent contact characteristics and is suitable for a range of vessel sizes and operational conditions.

Square shaped fenders are used to protect vessels and shore structures during berthing, mooring and towing operations. They are installed on quays, piers, fender panels and vessel hulls to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact, to reduce shock and to limit hull deformation. The geometry of a square fender offers a stable contact face and is commonly chosen where predictable compression and deflection behaviour are required within routine marine handling tasks.

Rubber solid S-fenders are intended to perform under typical marine conditions by providing cushioning and abrasion resistance at contact interfaces. Their material composition is selected to withstand repeated impact and seawater exposure while maintaining elasticity. Long-term field performance depends on operational factors such as load cycles, exposure to sunlight and chemical contaminants; therefore regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to verify condition and serviceability over time.

Standard dimensions are commonly available, and custom sizes or profiles can be manufactured to meet specific project requirements.
