LGRIG® Roller Fenders feature a main characteristic where the fender rolls with ship movement while providing deflection to absorb impact energy, making them applicable for dockyards, water gates, other restricted waterways, and protruding corners.
Roller Fender is typically constructed from an energy-absorbing elastomer unit fixed onto a single rotating shaft, with self-lubricating and low-maintenance bearings installed between the wheel and shaft for easy rotation even underwater.
This roller fender may freely rotate while mounted in a steel enclosure, serving primarily as a guiding mechanism for secure and comfortable vessel movement in narrow or sharp turning channels.
LGRIG® Roller Fenders can be mounted in a variety of configurations, including stacked double or triple fenders in tide zones to cover higher elevations, or side by side at an angle that suits the vessel hull's flare angles to maneuver the ship through confined spaces.
These roller fenders are extremely robust and absorb heavy impacts without damage, neutralizing most of the impact energy while coping easily with lateral and grazing loading when vessels move parallel to the wharf.
Roller Fender offers a low maintenance design with low rolling resistance, providing reliable performance in demanding marine environments.
