• Hydropneumatic Fender.jpg
  • Construction: Layers of high-strength tire-cord material encased in a thick rubber skin, providing structural stability while resisting abrasion and environmental wear.
  • Fittings: End flanges with inflation and deflation valves, safety pressure relief valves, and optional chain and tire nets or rope nets depending on the application.
  • Function: Internal pressure system compresses air on vessel contact, absorbing kinetic energy and reducing force transmitted to both structures — often deployed alongside surface-level pneumatic fenders to maintain protection below the waterline for deep-hulled vessels like submarines.
  • Deployment: Buoyant, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install — can be deflated for transport or storage and re-inflated on-site, suitable for both permanent installations and temporary deployments.
  • Accessories: Complete range of support equipment available, including mooring chains, shackles, towing rings, quick-release hooks, and inflation kits.
  • Compliance: Tested according to US Navy, Coast Guard, and ISO 17357-1:2014 guidelines, with third-party testing and certification available based on project specifications.
