PROTECTION
jetty or dock fenders
Jetty or dock fenders protect leisure speed boats by absorbing and dissipating the kinetic energy generated during docking or rough water conditions. They act as a physical buffer between the rigid structure of the pier and the vulnerable fibreglass or aluminium hull of the boat.
Impact Absorption
Energy conversion: Fenders compress upon impact.
Force reduction: Compression dampens the collision force.
Shock dissipation: Energy spreads through the fender material.
Bounce reduction: Fenders prevent violent boat rebounds.
Friction and Abrasion Reduction
Surface protection: Fenders prevent direct hull-to-jetty contact.
Scuff prevention: Smooth exterior materials eliminate gelcoat scratches.
Roll accommodation: Fenders roll with vertical boat movement.
Tidal compensation: Rubbing occurs on fenders, not hulls.
Load Distribution
Point-load elimination: Fenders widen the contact zone.
Weight spreading: Impact forces scatter across larger areas.
Structural defence: Broad distribution prevents localised hull cracking.
Stress reduction: Pressure stays below hull failure threshold.
Cylindrical Fender Types for Speed Boats
We manufacture standard 32cm diameter standard jetty fenders
For larger & heavier ships use 50cm fenders
They have a 5 year guarantee
Seams are thermo welded
They are protected on the wharf/dock/jetty side by a thick layer of industrial PVC flooring
Jetty fenders are crated and will be delivered to any physical address in Gauteng – South Africa
