Accessories for Boat Fender Installation
Front panels & UHMW-PE pads
Front panels are complex steel fabrications designed for working with cell fender, cone fender, element rubber fenders and other types. It is necessary part of fender system as they can distribute the reaction force form the rubber fender into the hull of vessels.
Front panels are normally fabricated with "closed box" and "open box" structures for different applications. As its names implies, the closed box type is composed of front and back plates with some stiffening members to form a closed units. The sizes and designs of front panels depend on the detail factors, such as quay type, vessel type, berthing mode and fender arrangements, etc.
UHMW-PE pads, generally fixed to front panels, can provide the best combination of price and durability to the whole fender system. The pads are characterized by higher abrasion resistance and low-friction surface, excellent durability and high toughness. It efficiently protects the painting of vessels from damages caused by friction.

Steel chains
Steel chains are used to fasten cylindrical fenders, pneumatic fenders and other types of fenders for providing excellent control of fenders such as the deflection and shear strength during impact. Normally, there are two main types of steel chain systems are commonly used for fender installation as shown in the picture.
Type A is composed of end shackles, end rings, screw buckle, chains and a rubber spring. While type B is simply constructed of two end shackles and main chains. Here are the detail specifications of chains.
