The fixed axle roller is a simple and effective fender suitable for high reactive loads with moderated deflection, and limited kinetic energy absorption characteristics. It is designed specifically for assisting in maneuvering vessels in confined spaces such as dry docks and pontoon. Units of this type are installed in building and dry docks which are in exposed conditions. With a pattern of simple rollors, the ships are allowed to positively contact one fenders, and the ship can then be rolled out safely with very little friction resistance.Performance Curve
