Sling Fenders Without Tyres or Chains

Sling Fenders and Foam-Filled Fenders – Flexible Solutions for Demanding Operations. Customized solutions to meet your needs: air-filled or foam-filled fenders offering reduced weight, easy handling, and high stability in any situation.

Advantages and Applications of Sling and Foam-Filled Fenders  

Unlike traditional air-filled fenders, we offer sling fenders without protective covers and chains. These fenders share many technical features with Yokohama-type fenders but come with reduced weight for easier handling. Sling fenders are often used to create distance between two objects and are available in both air-filled and foam-filled variants. For more information about Air-Filled Ship Fenders, you can read more about inflatable marine fenders.

Air-Filled Sling Fenders:

  • Provide the same technical performance as Yokohama fenders but are more prone to wear and punctures.
  • Reduced weight makes them easier to handle.

Foam-Filled Sling Fenders:

  • Ideal for stability during demanding operations such as lifting or transporting large objects to/from barges.
  • Cannot sink and pose no explosion risk under overload conditions.

Specifications:
Both types are available in diameters ranging from 500 mm to 3300 mm and lengths from 1000 mm to 10,600 mm, tailored to various needs and applications. If you want to learn more about how to choose the right type of fender, you can read more in this article.

Air-Filled Sling Fender Materials

Air-filled sling fenders are primarily constructed in the same way as Yokohama-type fenders but without tires and chains. The fenders consist of an inner rubber layer filled with compressed air, reinforcing layers of cords, and an outer layer of rubber. Handling is straightforward and the fenders can be lifted, towed, moored, and secured as needed. Due to their relatively low weight, they float high in the water and can generally be handled by the vessel’s crane.


Fenders are manufactured by the ISO 17357:2014 standard. This standard outlines the production method, materials, and testing of ship fenders. Fenders can be supplied with or without internal continuous chains. If you're considering renting fenders instead of purchasing them, you can read more about renting marine fenders.

Durable and Versatile Foam-Filled Fenders

Foam-filled fenders can be delivered in various configurations, with the most common being a three-layer construction with internal continuous chains. The inner layer constitutes the filling material in the fender, typically a highly elastic EVA foam. This foam is supplied to different specifications depending on the operational requirements of the fender.

Reinforcing cords make up the middle layer and the outer layer is moulded polyurethane. This creates an exceptionally robust fender that is sink-free and withstands extremely high stresses. The use of polyurethane also ensures that the fender does not transfer colors onto other surfaces. Foam-filled fenders can be delivered with an outer layer of tires and chains.
