1 Marine Fenders

2 Why Trelleborg Fenders? There is a simple reason to use our fenders: it is just too expensive not to do so. Every modern marina, port or harbour invests in the protection of their structures with fenders. Well designed fender systems will reduce construction costs. It follows that the longer a fender system lasts and the less maintenance it needs, the better the investment. It is rare for the very cheapest fenders to offer the lowest long term cost. Quite the opposite is true. A small initial saving will often demand much greater investment in repairs and upkeep over the years Maintenance costs Other A cheap fender system can cost many times that of a well engineered, higher quality solution over the lifetime of the berth as the graph demonstrates. Trelleborg marina and small craft natural rubber fenders give the buyer a vastly superior service life and mechanical performace compared to plastic or imported Asian rubber equivalents Trelleborg Trelleborg have supplied fenders into the Australian and New Zealand market for over 50 years, repeat customers include the Department of Defence, State Transport Authorities and commercial marine operations. Trelleborg Engineered Systems has a quality system certified to ISO and we are committed to supplying high quality, durable products which conform to the customer s specified requirements and operating conditions Service life (years) Wear & tear + Replacements + Damage repairs + Removal & scrapping + Fatigue, corrosion = Maintenance cost 50 1

Ultimate tensile strain (AS ) 350% (min.) Compression set (AS ) 35% (max.) Tear resistance (AS ) 50kN/m (min.) The fendering material is extruded natural rubber, compounded to be highly resistant against attack by sea-water, oxygen, ozone and ultraviolet light encountered in the marine environment. Natural rubber is inherently more resilient than other elastometric and plastic materials, and is ideal in absorbing berthing energy and protecting both the marina and vessel. Standard colours are white, grey and black. Other colours are available on special order.

4 QRP - Marine Fenders - Introduction Trelleborg Fenders are able to be delivered with fixing points ie holes drilled into the fender, sloping ends and fixing plates, bolts and accessories. Extruded lengths vary dependent on handling and transport criteria. Fixing details are specifically designed to accommodate fender size, fender usage and mounting arrangements. Energy absorption and reaction forces data for our standard fender range are available upon request. We provide a cost and obligation free service to assist in the design and application of fendering to meet your specific needs.

13 Marina Fender Bars - For High Impact Fender bars are resistant to high impact and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including fender piles, sheet-pile or concrete quays, ferry ramps and bumper guards on boats and barges. The heavy-duty mounting system is designed for fast, simple installation and is embedded in the rubber in order to eliminate corrosion. T-bolts can be supplied. The low profile of the aluminium mounting ensures maximum utilization of the rubber s elasticity. Fender bars can be bolted to U-section beams which can then be welded in place. Customised fender bars with a layer of low-friction UHMW-PE bonded integrally to the face are also available in 50 or 75 high x 100mm x 1500mm.

They are also appropriate where the distance between the vessel and the quay has to be minimised. The design includes a heavy-duty steel backplate which is moulded integrally into the rubber, so that only a few bolts are needed for mounting. Plate thickness can vary upon specifications. Holes are drilled to customer s specifications upon request. Available in mild & stainless steel plates. Standard colours available include: Black, Yellow, Blue and Grey. Other colours available as optional extra (non-marking material).

16 Ladder Fenders Trelleborg LFE Model The LFE ladder fender can be supplied as two separate sections: Section mounted on wharf face Suspended section The vertical sides of the ladder are designed to deform under vessel impact, providing energy absorption and returning to the undeformed state after impact. The rungs are rubber enclosed chain, ensuring both flexibility and strength. The suspended section is polyurethane enclosed chain to provide flexibility with rubber enclosed solid rungs to enhance ease of climbing. Fittings can be provided in either galvanised steel or 316L stainless steel to meet local requirements. The vertical side rungs are supplied in a safety yellow to increase visibility. Other colours are also available.

17 Trelleborg LF-250 Model The LF-250 integrates the functions of a ladder and a fender into a single unit. They are very robust but remain flexible to reduce accident damage and help protect the wharf when small craft berth. Available in a range of lengths, the LF-250 Ladder Fender can also be fitted with a rubber encased chain extension to suit overhanging structures.

18 Manufacturing Tolerances for Moulded & Extruded Rubber All products are visually inspected for compliance with the customer s requirements and our stringent workmanship standards. The choice between a moulded and extruded seal is often a compromise between tolerances and tooling costs. If new tooling is required to manufacture the product then an extrusion die is a cheaper alternative to machining a mould. Minimum order requirements may be requested. A comparison of dimensional tolerances for rubber mouldings (Class M4) and extrusions (Class E3), as per the International Standard ISO3302, is summarised below. NOMINAL DIMENSIONS MM MOULDING TOLERANCE (CLASS M4) MM+/1 EXTRUSION TOLERANCE (CLASS E3) MM+/ % - Rubber compound used in the DEEFEND range of extruded fenders has the following specifications:- Shore Durometer Hardness (AS ) Tensile strength (AS ) Ultimate tensile strain (AS ) Compression set (AS ) Tear resistance (AS ) MPa (min.) 350% (min.) 35% (max.) 50kN/m (min.) The fendering material is extruded natural rubber, compounded to be highly resistant against attack by sea-water, oxygen, ozone and ultraviolet light encountered in the marine environment. Natural rubber is inherently more resilient than other elastometric and plastic materials, and is ideal in absorbing berthing energy and protecting both the marina and vessel.
