Advanced Shock Absorption Cone Fender Uv Resistant Structure Stable Performance
Description
The Cone Rubber Fender is a high-performance marine fender designed for ports and offshore facilities where reliable energy absorption and low reaction force are critical. Its conical geometry allows for efficient compression during vessel impact, evenly distributing loads and minimizing stress on quay walls and ship hulls. The compact design delivers high energy absorption relative to its footprint, making it suitable for ports with space constraints or where multiple berths are operating simultaneously.
Constructed from high-quality natural and synthetic rubber with multiple reinforcement layers, Cone Fenders provide exceptional durability, elasticity, and resistance to ozone, UV, and saltwater exposure. The modular design allows optional integration of steel backing plates and UHMW-PE facing pads, enhancing friction reduction and long-term operational performance.
Case Study: Offshore Supply Base – West Africa
An offshore supply base handling crew transfer vessels and supply ships needed a fendering system that could withstand frequent berthings under strong tidal currents. Previous fenders suffered early wear and high maintenance costs due to repeated high-energy impacts and abrasive saltwater conditions.
Hongruntong Marine provided Cone Rubber Fenders with reinforced steel plates and low-friction UHMW-PE facing panels. The installation was performed without interrupting base operations, and alignment was verified to ensure optimal impact performance.
After 14 months, data showed a 38% reduction in quay wall reaction forces and significantly smoother vessel berthing. The fenders maintained elasticity, showed no deformation, and required minimal maintenance. Operators reported improved safety for vessels and personnel, highlighting the effectiveness of the conical fender design under challenging offshore conditions.

Features
Optimized Energy Absorption and Load Distribution
The conical profile allows gradual deformation under vessel impact, efficiently distributing forces along the fender body. This reduces the reaction force on the quay and prevents localized stress, protecting both the structure and the vessel hull. The high energy-to-footprint ratio ensures performance even in compact dock areas.
High Performance Rubber and Environmental Resistance
Cone Fenders are produced using proprietary natural and synthetic rubber blends resistant to ozone, UV, and saltwater. Reinforcement layers improve fatigue resistance and tensile strength, allowing thousands of berthings without loss of performance. The material maintains elasticity and energy absorption over long-term exposure to harsh marine environments.
Structural Reinforcement and Stability
Internal synthetic fabric layers combined with optional galvanized or stainless-steel backing plates provide stability under compression and angled impacts. Reinforcements ensure consistent shape and energy absorption capacity, even under repeated high-load conditions, extending service life and reliability.
Modular Design for Installation Flexibility
The modular construction allows quick installation, replacement, and adjustment to berth-specific requirements. UHMW-PE facing pads reduce friction and protect hull surfaces. Pre-drilled holes and standardized mounting systems simplify assembly on concrete and steel docks, reducing operational downtime and maintenance costs.
