This project involved H40 aircraft tyre fenders with a used tyre fender structure and pneumatic fender tyre chain net. The fenders were prepared for marine and ship protection applications, where tyre fenders help absorb impact and protect vessels, docks, and port structures during berthing or mooring operations.
Project Overview
YT Marine prepared H40 used aircraft tyre fenders for a new Australian client.
This was the first order from this client for this type of used aircraft tyre fender. The tyres were prepared for use in pneumatic rubber fender tyre-chain net assemblies.
For pneumatic rubber fenders with tyre-chain nets, suitable tyres help protect the fender body from direct contact and abrasion during berthing operations. Besides used aircraft tyres, YT Marine can also review used truck tyre options, chain net structures and pneumatic fender specifications according to the project requirement.
For complete pneumatic fender and tyre-chain net applications, this project can also be viewed as part of our marine fender systems for berthing protection and vessel-to-dock contact control.
Tyre Specification
This order included 12 pcs of H40 used aircraft tyres.
The tyre diameter was 1050 mm. Each tyre was drilled with 4 holes, and each hole diameter was 100 mm.
These drilled holes allow the tyres to be connected with chains and fittings when they are assembled as part of a pneumatic fender tyre-chain net.
Drawing Confirmation
Before production, we prepared a tyre drilling drawing and sent it to the client for checking.
After the client confirmed the drawing, we arranged the drilling work according to the approved hole size and hole position.
Drawing confirmation helps both sides avoid mistakes before production, especially when the tyre holes need to match the chain net assembly.
Product Photos
Below are product and packing photos of the H40 used aircraft tyre fenders prepared for this Australian client.
The tyres were packed on one pallet to make handling easier and help protect them during transportation.
Usage
Used aircraft tyres and truck tyres are commonly used as protection parts for pneumatic rubber fenders.
For pneumatic rubber fenders with tyre-chain nets, the tyres are installed around the fender body to reduce direct contact damage and improve protection during berthing operations.
Aircraft tyres are often selected for heavy-duty pneumatic fender applications because they are strong and suitable for marine fender net assemblies.
Tyre Options
For pneumatic fender tyre-chain nets, we can provide different tyre options according to the fender size and project requirements.
Common options include used aircraft tyres and used truck tyres. The tyre size, hole quantity and hole diameter can be reviewed according to the pneumatic fender design and chain net structure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aircraft Tyre Fenders
What is an aircraft tyre fender?
An aircraft tyre fender is a marine fender made from used aircraft tyres. It is commonly used for vessel, dock, and port protection where impact absorption and durable rubber structure are required.
What is a used tyre fender used for?
A used tyre fender is used to protect ships, docks, barges, and port structures from impact damage during berthing, mooring, or vessel contact.
What is a pneumatic fender tyre chain net?
A pneumatic fender tyre chain net is a protective net made with tyres and chains around a pneumatic fender. It helps protect the fender body and improves durability in marine applications.
What are aircraft tyre fenders used for on pneumatic rubber fenders?
Answer: Aircraft tyre fenders are commonly used as protection parts around pneumatic rubber fender bodies. In a tyre-chain net assembly, the tyres help reduce direct contact, abrasion and impact damage during berthing operations, especially for heavy-duty marine applications.
Can the holes on used aircraft tyres be customized?
Answer: Yes. The hole quantity, hole diameter and hole position can be reviewed according to the pneumatic fender size and tyre-chain net design. For this H40 project, each 1050 mm tyre was drilled with four 100 mm holes according to the confirmed drawing.
What information is needed to confirm aircraft tyre fenders for a project?
Answer: To confirm suitable aircraft tyre fenders, we usually need the tyre size, required quantity, hole size, hole position, chain net structure, pneumatic fender size and any drawing or assembly requirement. Photos or existing samples can also help us check the design more accurately.
