Durability: Tires can withstand significant impact and wear, offering long-lasting protection. Aircraft tires, in particular, are known for their exceptional strength and resistance to degradation.
Cost-effectiveness: Using old tires is an inexpensive way to provide reliable fendering.
Environmental benefit: Repurposing old tires keeps them out of landfills.
Docks and quaysides: Tires are frequently used to protect structures from impact damage.
Workboats: Tugboats, barges, and other workboats often use tire fenders for protection during docking and shifting berths.
Yokohama-type fenders: Aircraft tires are often incorporated into specialized fender netting for protecting vessel hulls.
A fender (or an aircraft tire fender) is a bumper that absorbs the kinetic energy of a boat or ship when colliding with other vessels and so it prevents damage to the vessels and berthing structures.
Fenders are typically made of rubber or plastic. Selecting the proper fender for a specific application depends on the vessel’s dimension, berthing structures, tidal variations and etc.
