Sling Fenders are regular pneumatic fenders without the tires and chain protection barrier. They are used primarily by oil tanker ships or other vessels with high sensitivity towards sparks.
READ THE FACTS SEND INQUIRYThese are the most popular, and most commonly used sizes of Sling Fenders. We have in Stock several other sizes, the same sizes as the Yokohama style Pneumatic Fenders. Here you can find the complete list of sizes available, as well as other technical information regarding each of them:
In this chart you will find all the information and technical drawings of every industry standard size of Sling Fender. You will also find data regarding the weight of each one of them, their energy absorption and the reaction force of each size. These last two parameters are the same as the regular Yokohama style Pneumatic Fender, but the weight changes.
LEARN MORESling Fenders are commonly used in Oil Tanker Ships since they reduce to 0 the risk of sparks and an accidental ignition. This is because they do not have the protection layer made of chains and tires, and thus, reducing friction against metal. This change also means a potentially lower lifespan, and a higher sensitivity against debris.
Sling Fenders have the same mechanical properties as a Yokohama style Pneumatic Fender. They both have the same Energy Absorption and the same Reaction Force. The main difference between the two types would be the weight, since the layer of tires and chains is particularly heavy. Despite that, the rubber body of the fenders is identical.
Standard sizes of Sling Fenders begin a bit smaller than the regular Yokohama style type, but the rest of the sizes are identical: 500 x 1000, 700 x 1500, 1000 x 1500, 1000 x 2000, 1500 x 3000, 2000 x 3500, 2500 x 5500, 3000 x 5000, 3000 x 6000, 3300 x 4500, 3300 x 6500, 4500 x 6500 & 4500 x 9000 mm sling type pneumatic fenders.
We have our Sling Fenders for Sale or for Rental, the same way as our other Pneumatic Fenders. We have available all industry standard sizes.
We have our Sling Fenders in Stock in Norway, as well as other European locations such as Germany or the Netherlands, and in APAC.
Here at Castle Hills we also have Yokohama style Pneumatic Fenders in Stock and for Sale. The ones with the layer of chain and tires.
