RotafenderTM-80

This system is designed for impact protection to minimize the forces transmitted to the platform’s structure allowing the absorption of energy with greater displacement and less reaction force.

This system has the capability to rotate allowing for free movement of the fender and dissipating the force of impact from the vessel and reducing the forces transmitted to the platform.

The fender system is an integral design with the capability to be adapted to the splash zone without any changes to the structure of the platform.
