Fenders Australia P/L has designed and built a wide range of frontal frames to suit the many different fender systems designed over the years. Below you'll find examples of these various frames showing how they correspond to the overall design and requirements of the fender system.

Murat Naval Pier, Exmouth North & South Berthing Dolphins 6 x frontal frames - 1m x 2m x .28m 6 x SSP1000H Super Spool fenders.

This design of frontal frame is known as the ‘box' frame which consists of 3 solid sides (front, left, right) & an open back (with stiffeners) to allow for the evaporation of sea water.

Esperance Port, Berth I & II

This particular frontal frame design (Octagonal) is one of our more simple. With only a single 30mm plate and 50mm UHMW-PE this design lacks the additional weight of stiffeners and a flange. This reduced weight puts less strain on the fender element and as a result weight/tension chains are not needed. This results in a lighter more cost efficient system. 36 x frontal frames - 1.8m x 1.8m x .08m 36 x SSP1150H Super Spool fenders

Esperance Port, Berth III

The shipping capacity for berth III is significantly more than berths I & II. Therefore the fender system had to be increased to suit. This included a larger fender element - SSP1700H and a heavier frontal frame. This square frame 2.8m x 2.8m x .3m includes a 30mm plate, 70mm UHMW-PE, 30mm flange and 170mm vertical stiffeners. Bringing the overall depth of the frame to 300mm.

Kwinana Bulk Terminal II

15 x Frontal Frames - 2.5m x 3.5m x .24m Rectangular - 25mm plate, 50mm UHMW-PE, 25mm flange and 140mm vertical stiffeners.
