Specifications

Unit Element Fender:
1.BV PIANC standard approved
2.High performance and extremely versatile
3.Modular units

Description of Unit Element Fenders:

 

JUE Unit Elements are modular units with an advanced geometry that combines high performance with an adaptable design. Unit Element Rubber Fenders are fully moulded rubber legs with embedded mounting plates. Unit Element Rubber Fender provides a compact solution for the mounting of fenders in limited areas. These fenders are high performance units which are extremely versatile. They have a long track record and are well suited to berths and terminals handling all vessel sizes. Vertical or horizontal mounting of Unit Elements ensure optimum energy and low reaction.

 

Unit Element Rubber Fenders can be used in arrays with steel panels, or in pairs with UHMW-PE facing pad as V-fenders but separated legs increase fender layout flexibility when installed behind steel panels or where mounting space is restricted. A small footprint makes JUE Unit Elements perfect where fixing area is restricted.

 

The major characteristics of Unit Element Fender include:

 

1. Good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E /R);

2. High energy absorption per weight of rubber;

3. Good angular performance and high efficiency;

4. Modular and compact design with small footprint;

5. Vertically and horizontally mounted elements may be combined in one system;

6. Wide range of sizes.

 

The JUE Unit Element Rubber Fender is available in heights between 300 and 1.600 mm, in standard lengths ranging from 500 to 2.000 mm each in 3 main hardness grades. This enables the most precise fender selection.

 

Application of Unit Element Fender:

 

Unit Element designs can be used by most vessels on almost any berthing structure including:

 

1. Container Terminals

2. Tanker Berths

3. RoRo & Cruise Berths

4. Dolphins & Monopiles

5. Bulk Terminals

6. General Cargo Facilities

7. Parallel Motion Fenders

8. Fender Walls

9. Small Ship Berths

10. Many other applications
