JIER - Roller Wheel Fender

Roller Fenders are commonly installed along the walls of dry docks and other restricted channels to help guide vessels and prevent hull damage. Roller Fenders are also used on berth corners and lock entrances where lower energy capacity is required.

The wheel is mounted on a fixed axle supported by a special frame. Performance can be modified where required by adjusting the initial pressure. The heavy duty steel supporting frame is designed to allow easy access to all moving parts. Corrosion traps are eliminated, contributing to a long and low maintenance service life.

Wheel Fenders help vessels manoeuvre into berths and narrow channels. Different configurations are used for a variety of locations such as locks and dry dock entrances and exposed corners.

The wheel has a sliding axle in front of two idler rollers to absorb the greatest possible energy during compression of the wheel into the casing. Performance can be modified where required by adjusting the initial pressure.
