UHMW-PE Panel Fenders

Features

DockGuard’s panel Fenders are UHMW-PE 1000 Grade manufactured and machined in sizes to suit the panel. They fixed to the panel generally with M16 St St studs that are welded to the skin of the panel. The minimum wear allowance on the PE is 12mm

UHMW-PE Panel Fenders are supplied pre- drilled for easy installation and chamfered to avoid snagging. The PE normally arrives on site pre fitted to the steel panel. They are available in a full range of colours – either to suit the aesthetics of the installation, to match corporate colour schemes or in high visibility colours for added safety and easier quay/jetty identification.

Key Benefits

UHMW-PE Panel fenders provide the benefits of higher wear resistance (even greater than steel) and lower maintenance; as they do not split or rot and are fully resistant to infestation from marine borers. The low friction coefficient and high abrasion resistance of UHMW-PE provides an ultra smooth surface for the vessel to slide easily along the face of the fender.
