Table of Contents

Rubber Fender D is a D-shaped rubber fender profile used for boats, docks, pontoons, workboats and marine structures. Its flat back side makes installation easier, while the curved front surface helps absorb impact and protect contact areas during docking, berthing or close-contact operation.

YT Marine manufactures rubber D fenders based on available mold sizes and project installation requirements. The fender length, rubber material, hole position and installation details can be arranged according to drawings, samples, photos or working conditions.

What Is a Rubber Fender D?

A Rubber Fender D, also called a D type rubber fender or D-shaped rubber fender, is a molded rubber profile with a D-shaped cross section. It is commonly installed on boats, docks, pontoons, workboats, quay edges and other marine structures where simple and durable rubber protection is required.

D type rubber fenders are also commonly used in marine dock and mooring fender systems where simple installation and durable edge protection are required.

Common Applications of D Rubber Fenders

D rubber fenders are widely used for vessel side protection, dock edge protection, pontoon protection, workboat bumpers and small marine structures. They are suitable for areas where the contact load is moderate and the installation surface is relatively flat.

Mold Size and Length Options

D rubber fenders are usually produced according to existing mold profiles. The main width, height and profile shape are decided by the mold, while the length can usually be cut or arranged according to the project layout. Buyers can select a suitable D fender size based on installation space, vessel size and expected impact condition.

Hole Drilling and Installation Details

Rubber D fenders can be supplied with pre-drilled holes when the hole position and bolt spacing are confirmed. Some buyers prefer to drill the holes on site according to the actual installation structure. The hole diameter, countersunk design, bolt size and fixing method should be checked before production.

Rubber Material and Color Options

D type rubber fenders are commonly produced in black rubber for marine and outdoor working environments. The rubber material should provide elasticity, impact resistance, weather resistance and long-term performance. Other color options may be discussed according to project requirements, although black is the most common and practical choice.

How to Choose the Right D Fender

To choose a suitable D rubber fender, buyers should consider the installation surface, available space, contact area, expected impact load, fender length and fixing method. If replacing an old fender, photos and dimensions of the existing fender can help confirm the correct profile.
