Durable Roller Fenders for Effective Marine Protection

Roller fenders are essential for protecting vessels and dock structures during berthing operations. These fenders are made to absorb strong impacts and help guide ships safely in tight spaces like docks, locks, and busy ports. This rotation helps reduce shear forces on both vessels and berthing structures, minimizing damage and wear.
Lion Rubber offers heavy-duty roller fenders built to last in tough marine environments. Our fenders are engineered with high-quality materials to provide long-lasting durability and consistent performance even in high-traffic zones.
With years of experience and a trusted global presence, Lion Rubber provides roller fenders that meet international quality standards. Our roller fenders provide reliable protection for commercial ports, industrial docks, and offshore facilities, ensuring safe and efficient vessel operations.

What is a Roller Fender?

A roller fender is a marine protection device designed to absorb impact and reduce damage during vessel berthing. Its unique design features a large rubber roller that rotates when a ship presses against it. This rotation helps minimize impact and shear forces on the vessel and the dock.
Typically, a roller fender consists of a strong steel frame, a durable rubber roller, and high-quality bearings that allow the roller to spin smoothly. This combination ensures the fender can handle heavy loads while protecting marine structures from wear and tear.
Roller fenders rotate with the vessel’s movement to effectively guide ships safely and reduce costly damage to docks and boats.

Key Features of Our Roller Fenders

Our roller fenders are strong and efficient, providing excellent protection for vessels and docks. Here are their main features:
  • High energy absorption

    Our roller fenders offer high energy absorption during berthing, helping to reduce damage to both ships and dock structures. This makes them ideal for protecting vessels in busy and demanding marine environments.

  • Robust design

    Built with a strong steel frame and high-quality rubber rollers, these fenders withstand harsh marine conditions and heavy usage. Their tough construction ensures long-lasting durability even under continuous stress and pressure.

  • Low maintenance

    Designed for easy inspection and upkeep, Lion Rubber’s roller fenders require minimal maintenance. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs, keeping marine operations smooth and efficient without compromising safety.

  • Low rolling resistance

    The rollers are engineered to rotate smoothly with minimal friction. This reduces wear and tear on the fender and vessel, allowing ships to berth gently and safely even in tight or narrow docking spaces.
