Installation & Maintenance Guide


Installation Steps

Prepare the mounting surface: Ensure the dock or vessel surface is clean, flat, and free of debris to guarantee secure attachment.

Align the fender: Position the D-Type Rubber Fender according to the project’s berthing angle, ensuring the D-shaped curve faces the vessel’s contact area.

Secure with fasteners: Use the specified flat bar and bolt size (per technical specs) to fix the fender, tightening bolts evenly to avoid deformation.

Verify alignment: After installation, check that the fender is level and securely attached, with no gaps between the fender and mounting surface.


Maintenance Tips

Conduct monthly visual inspections for cracks, wear, or loose bolts, especially in high-traffic areas.

Clean the fender with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, or marine growth, preventing material degradation.

Replace worn flat bars or bolts promptly to maintain structural integrity.

For customized pre-curved fenders, avoid bending or modifying the structure post-installation.

Key Features of D-Type Rubber Fender (DD Series)


Robust D-Shaped Structural Design

The fender’s dual D-shaped (outer and central) structure optimizes impact distribution, enhancing energy absorption while reducing reaction force on vessels. This design ensures long-term durability even under frequent collision scenarios, outperforming conventional fender types in harsh marine environments.


Customizable Specifications & Color Options

Beyond standard sizes (from DD100 to DD500), the dock fender supports customization for special requirements—such as pre-curved shapes or non-standard dimensions. Standard colors include black and navy grey, with other hues available upon request, allowing seamless integration with existing marine aesthetics.


Easy Installation & Low Maintenance

Featuring a compact bottom width and compatible with standard flat bars and bolts (detailed in technical specs), the fender enables quick on-site installation without complex tools. Its wear-resistant rubber material reduces maintenance needs, requiring only periodic inspections to ensure optimal performance.


BV-Certified Quality & Durability

Manufactured with high-grade marine rubber, the fender resists corrosion, UV radiation, and saltwater erosion. The BV certification validates its compliance with global marine safety and quality norms, providing peace of mind for long-term marine operations.



Applications of D-Type Rubber Fender (DD Series)


Small Craft Jetties & Wharves

Ideal for jetties and wharves serving small to medium-sized vessels, the fender’s moderate impact absorption protects both the structure and lightweight hulls from damage during mooring and berthing.


Pontoon & Floating Dock Protection

Floating docks and pontoons benefit from the fender’s flexible design, which adapts to wave-induced movements while maintaining stable protection against vessel collisions.


Inland Waterways Infrastructure

Suitable for canals, rivers, and inland ports, the fender’s compact size and easy installation make it a practical choice for narrow waterways where space is limited.


Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Yacht clubs and marinas rely on the fender’s customizable colors and gentle impact response to protect high-value yachts and recreational boats without compromising on performance.


Tug Boats & Workboats
