W fender is one of the most effective fender products at present. This particular design guarantees greater contact area and smaller surface pressure. At the same time, compared with other large fenders, the installation is very simple, and all of them are very popular in the current market. The W fender has been optimized in the past two generations to optimize the detail, make the flatness better, the accuracy higher and the less error.

 

W-type fenders are designed to withstand and absorb overmuch collisions and impact under extreme conditions. This type of fender is ideal for use on the bow and stern of tugboats, workboats and icebreakers. The groove on the top of the fender offers additional grip and low pressure when pushed. It is easy to be installed due to its two flexible legs with a big or small radius by virtue of guide rods.

Types of W Type Rubber Fender

W fenders are manufactured by rubber of extreme durability with a length usually less than 2000 mm and they are manufactured in the way of compression-moulding. The most general sizes are in stock so that they can be delivered with no delay. W fenders, M fenders and keyhole fenders are non-interchangeable.

Processing of W Type Rubber Fender

It is somewhat not very difficult to install W fenders. The connection is usually done by fixing the pins through two standard holes. W-type fenders come in different lengths and they can be cut at an angle. If the length of the fender exceeds one meter, the opening of the support strip can be increased.
