Yokohama rubber fender / Pneumatic Rubber Fender

A pneumatic fender is also called a Yokohama rubber fender. It was developed by the Japanese Yokohama Rubber Company in 1958. So, it has other names: Yokohama Fender or Yokohama Pneumatic Fender. Yokohama fenders are advanced protective devices used to protect ships and terminal facilities. These Yokohama floating fenders are widely used in marine collision avoidance. They are made of high-strength rubber. The Yokohama rubber fender contains compressed air, which allows the pneumatic fender to float on the water. These fenders can absorb energy during ship-to-ship (STS) operations or mooring. They provide softer reaction forces to the vessel. And Yokohama fenders are lightweight and easily deflated. Their installation and redeployment are simple.

Unlike traditional elastic rubber fenders such as scrap tires or solid rubber fenders. Yokohama marine fenders have significant advantages. Such as high energy absorption, low pressure per unit area of the ship, excellent impact resistance, and easy installation. The Yokohama rubber fender has a long service life and low maintenance cost. It is suitable for harsh environments

A Pneumatic fender mainly includes inner rubber, outer rubber, steel wire mesh, and air valve. All components of Yokohama Fender are combined into a whole after high-temperature vulcanization. So, the pneumatic marine fender has high strength, fatigue, and impact resistance. Also, Yokohama pneumatic Fenders have the advantages of thermal stability and good adhesion.

As a leading Yokohama fender manufacturer in China, Jerryborg Marine also provides custom pneumatic fender design services.

Rubber Outer Layer: The outer layer of Yokohama Fender is usually made of wear-resistant rubber. It has good corrosion resistance and UV resistance. This layer of rubber skin can effectively absorb and disperse collision energy and reduce impact.

Inner Leak-proof Layer: Inside the rubber, the outer layer is usually leak-proof. Its purpose is to prevent gas leakage. This inner layer is usually made of corrosion-resistant materials with good sealing properties.

Air Valve: The pneumatic fender is equipped with an air valve inside. We use gas valves to regulate and maintain internal gas pressure. You can control the hardness and elasticity of the fender by adjusting the gas pressure. This allows adaptation to different vessel and environmental conditions.

Connectors: The Yokohama pneumatic fender is often equipped with connectors. This makes it easier to connect to a dock or other structure. These connections may be chains, cables, or other suitable connecting devices.
