Trapezoidal Rubber Fender for Ships and Dock Sides

Product Specification

Trapezoidal Rubber Fender for Ships and Dock Sides

Product Overview

Trapezoidal Rubber Fender for Ships and Dock Sides is a solid-rubber profile with a tapered cross-section for ship-side and dock-side protection. The supplied series includes six cross-section options, four with detailed fixing dimensions and two larger 500 mm profiles with a listed 1,500 mm unit length.

This page uses the international descriptive term “trapezoidal rubber fender”; “trapezium rubber fender” is retained as a secondary search expression because it appears in the supplied source.

Quick Specifications

• Product type: Trapezoidal / trapezium solid-rubber profile fender
• Supplied nominal B range: 300–500 mm
• Supplied nominal H range: 250–500 mm
• Detailed fixing dimensions supplied for four smaller profiles
• Listed unit length for two 500 mm profiles: 1,500 mm
• Applications: ship side and dock side
• Performance publication status: dimensions supplied; no complete numerical reaction/energy table provided

Structure & Configuration

Tapered / trapezoidal solid-rubber cross-section | central internal opening / fixing geometry on the detailed profiles | longitudinal profile body | project-specific fixing to ship or dock support.

The profile shape gives a narrower mounting face relative to the outer contact width on selected sizes. Final length and fixing geometry must follow the approved product drawing for the selected section.

Selection & Inquiry Guide

Step 1 – Confirm the required cross-section from the existing installation or available mounting envelope.

Step 2 – Confirm total length, fixing geometry and whether the installation is ship-side or dock-side.

Step 3 – Provide support-structure material, bolt / backing arrangement and expected contact direction.

Step 4 – If quantified performance is required, provide the target reaction / energy basis and specify calculation or full-scale verification requirements.

Step 5 – Confirm quantity, documentation, inspection and delivery requirements.

Key Engineering Advantages

• Tapered profile provides an alternative contact geometry where a simple square or D profile does not match the available installation space.
• Six supplied cross-sections cover 250–500 mm nominal height and multiple base-width relationships.
• Direct solid-rubber construction supports straightforward replacement in ship-side and dock-side applications.
• Large 500 mm profiles are supplied with a listed 1,500 mm unit length for project planning.

Installation & System Interface

The trapezoidal fender is fixed to the vessel or dock support structure using the approved profile-specific holes and backing arrangement. Final bolt size, spacing, local reinforcement and installation clearance are determined from the selected section, support material and project load basis.

Inspection & Documentation

Baseline quality control includes visual inspection, dimensional verification and rubber physical-property testing. No numerical reaction-force / energy-absorption claim is added where the supplied product material does not provide a reliable tabulated performance basis.

Current fender-system engineering guidance is used for project design and testing logic, while type approval, product certification, third-party witnessing and class documentation are stated only when the corresponding scope has been agreed and documented.

Applications

Ship sides | dock sides | drydock protection | floating-dock edges | quay protection | replacement tapered-profile fenders

FAQ

Q1: Is “trapezium rubber fender” the same search intent? — Yes. The supplied source uses “trapezium”, while “trapezoidal rubber fender” is the clearer descriptive page name.

Q2: Why are D, d and h blank for the two 500 mm profiles? — The supplied table states only B, B1, H and L = 1500 for those rows; the missing fixing dimensions are not guessed.

Q3: Are reaction and energy values published? — No reliable numerical performance table was supplied. Quantified performance should come from an approved product calculation or test basis.
