Element fenders are fully moulded rubber legs with embedded mounting plates. Fendguard's element type fenders are high performance units which are extremely compact and versatile. These fenders can also be used with a UHMW-PE shield to provide a low cost alternative to an arch type fender. The major characteristics of Fendguard's element type fender include:

• Good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E/R)
• High energy absorption per weight of rubber
• A narrower footprint than traditional leg fenders which allows for a multitude of configurations
• Can be fixed behind a panel or a pile and can be provided in varying lengths
• Vertically and horizontally mounted elements may be combined in one system
