Cone fenders are an improved version of Cell type Fender recently introduced and recommended for all type of applications including high tidal variation sites. Fendguard's cone type fender has the highest energy to reaction ratios of any fender currently in use. Its refined geometry and conical shape result in a number of outstanding performance characteristics which include:
• Exceptionally good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E/R)
• High efficiency for designs to incorporate smaller, less costly cone fenders instead of larger, less efficient rubber body
• Deflection of 70% of its height and provides great flexibility in its application to operators
• High shear stability which allows the fender to carry even larger panel weights without using chains
• Very good inherent resistance against shear forces due to its geometry and self-centering characteristics
• Typically utilized with a complete fender panel system, but can also be used within a pile support system
