Tugboat Cylindrical Rubber Fender
Tugboat cylindrical rubber fenders are used for tugboats, push boats and workboats to protect bow, stern and vessel side areas during pushing, berthing and vessel contact operations.
Tugboat Cylindrical Rubber Fenders for Bow, Stern and Side Protection
Tugboat cylindrical rubber fenders have similar inner and outer diameter structures to standard cylindrical fenders, but they are usually produced in much longer lengths for tugboat, push boat and workboat protection. When the required length is longer than normal container loading limits, the fender can be produced in several sections and connected with rubber plugs before shipment or installation.
YT Marine manufactures straight cylindrical tugboat fenders and tapered-end cylindrical fenders according to project requirements. The two ends can be closed with rubber plugs, so the inner hole may not be visible from the outside. Grooves can also be arranged on the fender body for lashing, fixing or installation straps, and the groove size can be adjusted according to the installation method.

When the required fender length is longer than standard container loading limits, the fender can be produced in several sections and connected with rubber plugs. Straight type and tapered-end type cylindrical fenders are available, and grooves can be arranged on the fender body for lashing, straps or other fixing methods according to the installation layout.
Key Features of Tugboat Cylindrical Rubber Fenders
Tugboat cylindrical rubber fenders are designed for heavy-duty vessel protection, long-length installation and practical fixing arrangements on tugboats and push boats.
Designed for tugboat and push boat protection where longer fender coverage is required along the bow, stern or vessel side.
For very long fenders, the body can be produced in sections and connected with rubber plugs when the total length exceeds container loading limits.
The fender ends can be closed with rubber plugs, so the inner hole may not be visible from the outside after assembly.
Available as straight cylindrical fenders with the same outer diameter along the full length, or tapered-end types with gradually reduced end diameters.
Grooves can be arranged on the fender body for lashing, straps or other fixing methods according to the installation layout.
Can be used together with W fenders, D fenders and other rubber profiles to build a complete tugboat fendering system.
