Florescence Cone Fender
-----Since 1992
Cone Fender Description
The Cone Rubber Fender is a state-of-the-art upgrade to traditional cell fenders, boasting optimal performance and operational efficiency.
Its tapered profile ensures exceptional stability for the SCN series even under high compression angles, while delivering superior shear strength. Equipped with overload stops, the Super Cone marine fender offers further enhanced impact resistance.
As a highly efficient rubber fender variant, it is suitable for a wide range of marine applications. Its precision-engineered geometry and conical structure yield a host of outstanding performance attributes.
Florescence Cone Rubber Fenders are available in heights ranging from 300 mm to 2,000 mm. Please feel free to contact us with your specific requirements.

Key differences between cone fender and cell fender
1.Structure & Deflection
Cone fenders: Tapered single-unit structure, higher deflection.
Cell fenders: Modular honeycomb structure, moderate deflection.
2.Energy Absorption & Reaction Force
Cone fenders: High energy absorption per unit, low peak reaction force.
Cell fenders: Large total energy absorption, relatively high peak reaction force.
3.Installation & Application
Cone fenders: Lightweight, easy to install; ideal for small-to-medium berths/yacht marinas.
Cell fenders: Heavy, need steel frames; fit for large ports/offshore platforms.
Primary Marine Applications
Container & Bulk Terminals (High-frequency, large-displacement berths)
Oil, Gas & LNG Terminals (Demanding precise stability and low-reaction safety)
Ro-Ro & Cruise Terminals (Requiring low hull pressure protection)
Open Sea Wharves & Dolphin-Type Berths exposed to severe swell and tidal energy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why are Super Cone Fenders more efficient than Super Cell Fenders?
A: Super Cone Fenders allow a maximum compression deflection of 72%, whereas cell fenders typically limit deflection to 52.5%. This extra compression travel enables the cone fender to absorb significantly more kinetic energy without increasing the reaction force on the ship's hull.
Q2: How does a cone fender perform during large angular berthing?
A: Due to its conical geometric design, the fender maintains stable energy absorption curves and structural integrity even when vessels approach at sharp angles (up to 10° or 15°), preventing localized stress failures.
Q3: What anchoring and steel accessories are included in the assembly?
A: The complete fendering system includes the conical rubber body, a steel frontal panel, low-friction UHMW-PE fascia pads, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel anchor bolts, and heavy-duty structural shackles/chains to support the panel weight.
Q4: Do your conical marine fenders support third-party testing?
A: Yes. All Florescence marine fenders support independent material verification and performance testing (such as compression and speed factor checks) conducted by third-party surveyors including SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), CCS, and Lloyd's Register (LR).
