DD Hollow Rubber Fender | D Shaped Dock Bumper – Sabah, Sarawak & Brunei

Manufacturer & Supplier: RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES

 

RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES is a leading manufacturer and supplier of DD Hollow Rubber Fenders, also known as D Shaped Dock Bumpers, engineered for marine berthing systems, offshore platforms, shipyards, ports, and industrial impact protection.

With decades of expertise in marine and industrial rubber technology, we provide stock and custom fendering solutions that serve the demanding needs of Borneo’s shipping, oil & gas, fisheries, logistics, and heavy industries.

Our DD Hollow Fenders are built with a unique double-D profile:

• Outer Profile – D-shaped for uniform load distribution.
• Internal Hollow Core – D-shaped cavity that allows greater deflection and energy absorption.

This configuration ensures superior performance, reduced vessel impact forces, and longer lifespan compared to solid D fenders or cylindrical core (DC) fenders.

 

Product Sizes & Customization

We maintain ready stock for fast delivery and also offer custom production for specialized projects.

Available Stock Sizes:

• 2” x 2”
• 3” x 3”
• 4” x 4”
• 6” x 6”

 

Customizable Production:

• Up to 12” x 12”
• Can be extruded in continuous lengths and cut to size.
• Option for pre-drilled holes, angled cuts, or curved sections for specific vessel hulls or jetty designs.

 

Technical Features of DD Hollow Rubber Fender

 

🔹 Optimized Energy Absorption
The hollow cavity allows the fender to compress deeply, absorbing higher berthing energy per unit length.

 

🔹 Reduced Reaction Force
Protects both the vessel hull and berthing structure by spreading impact force evenly.

 

🔹 High Durability Rubber Compound
Made from marine-grade rubber with properties:

• Ozone resistance (prevents cracking under tropical sun).
• Saltwater resistance (long-term performance in seawater contact).
• Abrasion resistance (withstanding repeated vessel contact).
• Weather resistance (suitable for Sabah & Sarawak’s humid equatorial climate).

 

🔹 Easy Bolt-Through Installation

• Hollow cavity allows through-bolting directly into concrete, steel, or wooden docks.
• Eliminates need for heavy backing plates in many cases.
• Installation is fast, cost-efficient, and reliable.

 

🔹 Custom Length Supply
Available in cut-to-length sections or continuous extrusion rolls depending on project needs.

 

🔹 Low Maintenance
Once installed, DD fenders require minimal inspection and last for years of heavy berthing operations.

 

Applications in Marine & Industrial Sectors

 

⚓ Marine Applications

• Port & Jetty Protection: Safeguards quay walls, wharves, dolphin piles, and dock edges.
• Tugboats & Workboats: Installed on hull sides and sterns to reduce vessel-to-vessel collision damage.
• Fishing Harbors: Protects small fishing boats and landing stations in Sabah (Semporna, Kudat, Lahad Datu).
• Offshore Oil & Gas: Suitable for barge-to-rig contact, FPSOs, and supply vessel docking.
• Shipyards: Used in new builds, retrofits, and repair docks.

 

🏭 Industrial & Commercial Applications

• Truck Loading Bays: Prevents damage to trucks and loading dock structures.
• Warehouses & Factories: Installed on walls, ramps, and gates for forklift & equipment impact protection.
• Container Yards & Logistics Hubs: Protects loading platforms from heavy vehicle impact.
• Construction Sites: Used as temporary edge protection for bridges, platforms, and heavy equipment staging areas.
