Why Trelleborg
Fenders?
There is a simple reason to use our fenders: it is just too expensive not
to do so. Every modern marina, port or harbour invests in the protection
of their structures with fenders.
Well designed fender systems will reduce Maintenance costs
construction costs. It follows that the longer a
700
fender system lasts and the less maintenance it
needs, the better the investment.

er
It is rare for the very cheapest fenders to offer the

Oth
lowest long term cost. Quite the opposite is true.
500
A small initial saving will often demand much
greater investment in repairs and upkeep over the
years. 400

A cheap fender system can cost many times that of

Marina Protection Plates

Trelleborg marina protection plates (MPP) are resilient bumpers designed for quays where small
vessels such as fishing boats or pleasure craft are moored.
They are also appropriate where the distance between the vessel and the quay has to be minimised.
The design includes a heavy-duty steel backplate which is moulded integrally into the rubber, so that
only a few bolts are needed for mounting.

Ladder Fenders

Trelleborg LFE Model

The LFE ladder fender can be supplied as two separate sections:
• Section mounted on wharf face
• Suspended section
The vertical sides of the ladder are designed to deform under vessel impact, providing energy
absorption and returning to the undeformed state after impact. The rungs are rubber enclosed chain,
ensuring both flexibility and strength.
The suspended section is polyurethane enclosed chain to provide flexibility with rubber enclosed solid
rungs to enhance ease of climbing.
Fittings can be provided in either galvanised steel or 316L stainless steel to meet local requirements.
The vertical side rungs are supplied in a safety yellow to increase visibility.
Other colours are also available.
