Pneumatic Fenders

Pneumatic fenders are primarily used for the protection of ships and docks and have several important functions:

1. Protection for Ships and Docks: Pneumatic fenders can effectively absorb impact forces, reducing damage to both the dock and the ship when berthing or departing.
2. Reducing Friction: When a ship approaches the dock, inflatable fenders provide a soft contact surface, lowering friction and minimizing wear.
3. Providing Buoyancy: By being inflated, these fenders increase buoyancy, helping the ship maintain stability, especially during tidal changes and in rough weather conditions.
4. High Adaptability: Pneumatic fenders can be inflated or deflated as needed, allowing adjustments to their hardness and shape to accommodate different types of vessels and docking environments.
5. Low Maintenance Costs: Compared to traditional solid fenders, inflatable fenders are lightweight, easy to install and replace, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Pneumatic fenders are widely used in ports, shipyards, and other marine engineering fields to ensure the safety of vessels and the smooth operation of docks.
