Sling Pneumatic Fender
Reliable Ship Protection with Enhanced Durability & Flexibility
The Henger Sling Pneumatic Fender is an important marine safety device. It is designed to cushion impacts during berthing. It acts as a barrier between ships, or between ships and marinas. It uses compressed air to absorb collision energy, which lessens potential damage to structures and hulls. The sling suspension system is lighter and easier to maneuver than traditional chain and tyre net-covered wings, which also works for many marine operations, from ship-to-ship transfers to emergencies.
The Sling-type fenders play a key role in protecting marine safety and infrastructure. It is a valuable marine protection device. It is useful in harbors and marinas with changing tides or where precise mooring is needed.

Main Characteristics
The Sling Type Pneumatic Fender always be carried with the vessel for use at home, at sea and in foreign ports as utility fenders. Sling Type fenders design ensures high energy absorption with little reaction force can absorb and get rid of energy during mooring key features easily . Diffierent with pneumatic rubber chain and tyres net systems,Sling Type Fender are lighter and more adaptable. They are easier and quicker to deploy. This is especially true in situations where rapid response or flexible placement is needed.
Types and Applications
Pneumatic rubber fenders are made of durable and durable materials, providing excellent investment returns. This design can withstand harsh marine environments, resulting in low maintenance costs. This gives you confidence in ensuring reliability, with consistent performance regardless of age or extreme temperatures, even when subjected to excessive loads, to protect the vessel and mooring facilities.
The suspension mudguard is lightweight and small in size, making it easy to deploy and eliminating gender restrictions for management personnel. Very suitable for ship to ship combat, flexibility and speed are key. After use, the storage of the fenders is also very convenient.
The Yokohama type inflatable fender structure is sturdy, with a longer service life and product lifespan. More suitable for long-term ship to berth and ship to dock operations, with stronger wear resistance and environmental friendliness.
The characteristics of different design structures and styles of inflatable rubber fenders meet the diverse protection needs of different marine environments and play a crucial and reliable role in ensuring mooring safety and ship safety. The Henger team is committed to developing and producing customized products that meet different environmental needs, providing strong protection for maritime safety.
Technical specifications & performance
Same as Yokohama type fender, sling pneumatic fender must also be strictly complied with the ISO 17357:2014 standard. This is crucial to ensure that pneumatic fenders comply with global safety, performance, and durability standards for offshore operations. The ISO 17357:2014 standard specifies specific requirements for materials, durability, and performance to ensure that sling rubber fender can absorb a significant amount of impact energy.
Henger sling type pneumatic fender 100% comply with the ISO 17357:2014 standard. And in addition, specified production or test requirement standards will be accepted if end users/navy/designated government terminals need . Henger team has been continuously striving and working to maintain maritime mooring safety and port docking safety.

Sling Type Pneumatic Fenders Selection Guide
When selecting a sling-type pneumatic fender, it is vital to consider the following factors:
Size: The size of the fender should be selected based on the size of the vessel and the type of mooring operation. Larger vessels or operations involving significant energy absorption may require larger fenders.
Pressure: The internal pressure of a fender affects its performance characteristics. They are usually 50 kPa or 80 kPa. The choice depends on the needed energy absorption and reaction force.
Application: Consider the marine environment. It includes ship-to-ship, ship-to-mooring, or ship-to-jetty operations. Also, consider the tides.
Understanding size and performance parameters:Different sizes offer different performances in terms of energy absorption and reaction forces. Matching fender size to needs is crucial. It ensures safety during berthing.
Installation & Maintenance Guide
Easy Inflating And Installation: Henger will provide a guide to the needed inflation. Follow this guide to ensure the wing reaches its best performance. Correct installation (e.g. fixing the wing at the correct height and position) is essential.
Maintenance: Checking for damage often, keeping inflation at recommended levels, and cleaning to remove marine organisms will help the fender last longer.
Durability and performance: Check for wear and tear often. This is especially important if the fender is used a lot in harsh conditions. And follow a maintenance schedule. This will address issues promptly.
Case studies & industry applications
The customer at Port X, Malaysia, highly recognized the pneumatic fenders our company delivered. They were of the sling type. This was during a challenging ship-to-ship (STS) operation. The fenders faced big tides and choppy waters. But, they absorbed lots of energy and had low reaction forces. They protected two large ships berthed side-by-side well.
