Simple Structure Square fenders have a simple rectangular or square shape, typically made of durable materials such as rubber or plastic. This straightforward design makes their manufacturing process relatively simple and cost-effective.
Larger Contact Surface With four straight edges, square fenders offer a larger contact area, making them suitable for situations where the need for distributing impact force evenly is not as critical.
Strength and Durability Square fenders are designed with a certain degree of rigidity, allowing them to withstand moderate impact forces. While their shock-absorbing ability may be slightly inferior to that of D-type fenders, they still provide adequate protection for vessels or dock structures.
Ease of Installation The regular shape of square fenders means they do not require precise alignment during installation, making the process simpler and reducing installation time and costs.
Lower Cost Compared to fenders with more complex shapes, square fenders are generally less expensive to manufacture and install, offering a high cost-performance ratio.
Lower Shock Absorption Performance Due to their lack of curved design, square fenders distribute impact pressure less evenly than D-type fenders, which can result in higher reactive forces during collisions.
