Arch Fender Description:
Technical Specifications & Structural Dimensions
Data-dense section utilizing international structural engineering parameters for streamlined procurement profiling.
Our standard marine arch fenders are vulcanized using high-resilience natural rubber compounds to deliver predictable mechanical performance:
| Engineering Parameter | Standard Configuration Options | Technical Reference / Metric |
| Elastomer Compound Base | Premium Natural Rubber (NR) / Synthetic Blend | High tensile strength and ozone resistance |
| Height Specification Range (H) | 150 mm to 1000 mm | Standard sizes: 200H, 250H, 300H, 400H, 500H |
| Length Customization Range (L) | 1000 mm to 3500 mm | Custom cut lengths engineered per blueprint |
| Standard Service Durability | Designed for 6 to 8 years of active service | Low stress relaxation over long-term deployment |
| Integrated Anchor Accessories | High-tensile foundation bolts, heavy washers, nuts | Available in galvanized or stainless steel alloys |
| Application Environment | Commercial ports, coastal jetties, wharves | Optimized for high-frequency docking cycles |
The DA-B type: Arch rubber fender can be enhanced by fixing it with UHMW-PE pads or steel plates (or both). The greatest advantage is to enhance strength under static and dynamic shear loads which allows large panels to be supported without chains.

Primary Marine Applications

Tugboat and Workboat Berths requiring heavy-duty edge protection.
Inland Waterway Quays, Coast Guard Piers, and Passenger Ferry Terminals.
Ro-Ro Jetties and Slipways subject to multi-directional tidal surges.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the installation benefits of horizontal vs. vertical arch fender layouts?
A: Horizontal installation is highly effective for protecting docks against longitudinal friction as vessels slide parallel to the berth line. Vertical installation is recommended for ports with high tidal variations, providing continuous hull protection across varying sea levels.
Q2: Can these standard arch fenders be upgraded with UHMW-PE low-friction pads?
A: Yes. We supply specialized arch fender configurations featuring a reinforced steel head plate fitted with low-friction UHMW-PE fascia pads to significantly reduce hull friction and eliminate marking on vessel surfaces.
Q3: How do you choose the right arch fender height for a dock project?
A: The required height (ranging from 150mm to 1000mm) depends on the displacement tonnage of target vessels, allowable hull pressure, and the kinetic energy needing dissipation during maximum approach speeds.
Q4: Do your marine arch fenders support third-party material certification?
A: Yes. Every production batch undergoes strict internal validation for tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. Full material traceability (MTC) is available, and we regularly accommodate independent inspections by surveyors including SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), and CCS before export.
