V Fenders
V fenders are a specific type of rubber fender that are designed with a V-shaped groove along the length of the fender. This groove helps to distribute the pressure evenly across the surface of the fender and provides a better grip for the vessel during docking.
V Fenders, also known as Arch Fenders, are one of the most widely used types of molded rubber fenders in marine environments. With their simple geometry and one-piece design, they provide highly efficient energy absorption and long-term durability in demanding berthing operations.
Product Features
-
High Energy Absorption: The arch profile allows V fenders to absorb and distribute energy effectively, minimizing hull pressure.
-
Compact & Rugged: Made from high-quality rubber compounds, V fenders are built for long-term resistance to UV, ozone, and saltwater exposure.
-
Cost-Effective: Their straightforward design reduces manufacturing and installation costs while ensuring reliable performance.
-
Low Reaction Force: Protects both the dock structure and vessel hull from excessive loads.
Applications
V Type Fenders are ideal for:
-
Inland and coastal terminals
-
Fishing harbors and small ports
-
Tugboat and barge berths
-
Low to medium energy berthing zones
Technical Options
-
Available in sizes from 200 mm to 1000 mm height

Rubber Properties
Hongruntong Rubber compounds are designed for long life in marine environments. All fenders are made using high quality natural and/or synthetic rubber compounds, formulated for high performance and reliability.
Rubber compounds include additives to resist the effects of ozone and ultra-violet light. The vulcanisation process (temperature, pressure and time) is strictly controlled to ensure a homogenous product with excellent physical properties and rubber to metal bond strengths.
► Marine grade compounds
► Natural and/or synthetic
► Resists ozone and UV
► Excellent bond strengths
► Fully homogeneous
► Fully recyclable
