Customizing To Fit Your Applications
Duramax Marine® has over 40 years of experience in custom design and fabrication of
commercial dock bumpers and fenders for vessels. Whether you are replacing an existing
system or need a fendering system for new construction, our engineers will work closely
with you to custom fabricate the fendering to match your exact installation specifications.
If your fender requirements are unique, we will custom-design and manufacture the
perfect system for you.
Pre-curved Fenders provide stronger
impact resistance.
When you need fender mounted on a curved
surface, trust Duramax Marine® pre-curved
dock bumper sections. Our pre-curved
sections are cured with the curve in the
part to relieve the stress that will cause the
fender to split or tear upon impact.
The following information is needed
when ordering a Pre-curved Fender:
• Specify the Duramax Commercial Dock
Bumper type and dimensions
• Radius of the hull = R ±2 inches
• The total length of fender against the hull
from X to X
• The angle of the curvature = A ±5 degrees **
**If the angle of curvature cannot be
determined, dimensions D and W can be
substituted for A degrees.
• The thickness (height) of the fender
section to be curved = H.
Duramax Marine® recommends that the
minimum bending radius (R) is = 1.5 x H.
Note that pre-curving dock bumper will distort
the shape of the bumper at and near the
bend. Consult your Duramax Marine®
representative to determine if pre-curving
is necessary for your installation.
