Key Features of Dock Wheel Fenders
Dock wheel fenders are designed to reduce berthing impact while helping vessels move smoothly along dock corners, quay walls, and narrow berthing areas. The rotating rubber wheel structure, steel support frame, and flexible configuration options make them suitable for marine projects where both protection and vessel guidance are required.
The rubber wheel rotates during vessel contact, helping reduce friction and guide the vessel along the dock or quay wall.
The pneumatic rubber wheel structure helps absorb berthing energy and reduce direct impact on dock structures.
A heavy-duty steel frame supports the wheel assembly and provides a stable fixing base for quay wall or dock installation.
D1, D2 and D3 configurations are available for different berthing directions, vessel sizes, and protection requirements.
Reaction force, energy absorption, and deflection data are available to support model selection for marine projects.
Frame dimensions, mounting plates, and fixing holes can be customized according to drawings or site installation conditions.
Dock Wheel Fender Specifications and Size Options
Dock wheel fenders are selected according to berth layout, vessel size, contact direction, impact requirement, and available installation space. YT Marine manufactures D1, D2, and D3 dock wheel fender systems with different wheel diameters, steel frame sizes, reaction force, and energy absorption options for marine projects.

Dock Wheel Fender FAQs
What is a dock wheel fender used for?
A dock wheel fender is used to reduce berthing impact and guide vessels smoothly along quay walls, dock corners, ferry berths, and narrow marine structures. The rotating rubber wheel helps reduce friction during side contact.
What is the difference between a dock wheel fender and a common dock bumper?
A common dock bumper mainly provides fixed impact protection, while a dock wheel fender can rotate during vessel contact. This rotating design helps guide the vessel and reduce sliding friction along the dock structure.
What configurations are available for dock wheel fenders?
YT Marine can manufacture D1, D2, and D3 dock wheel fender configurations. Single, double, and triple wheel systems can be selected according to vessel size, contact direction, berth layout, and protection requirements.
How do I choose the right dock wheel fender model?
Model selection depends on vessel size, berthing energy, contact direction, available installation space, quay wall structure, and required reaction force or energy absorption. You can send us your project drawings or berth conditions for reference selection.
Can the steel frame and mounting layout be customized?
Yes. The steel support frame, mounting plate, fixing holes, and installation layout can be customized according to project drawings, site conditions, or existing dock structure requirements.
Do dock wheel fenders have performance data?
Yes. Reference data such as maximum deflection, reaction force, and energy absorption is available for standard dock wheel fender models. Final values should be confirmed according to model size, rubber compound, and project requirements.
