Plastimo Rib Fender: Superior Protection for Inflatable Boats and Tenders

Protect your valuable Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) or tender from costly damage with the expertly designed Plastimo Rib Fender. Mooring against rough docks, pontoons, or rafting up with other vessels can pose a significant risk to your boat´s inflatable tubes. This innovative fender is specifically engineered to provide a robust and reliable barrier, giving you complete peace of mind every time you come alongside. Its unique design offers unparalleled performance and durability, making it an essential piece of equipment for any discerning RIB owner.

The fender´s signature feature is its curved shape to fit the RIB or tender tube perfectly. This ergonomic contour ensures a snug and secure fit that won´t slip or roll out of place during use, unlike standard cylindrical fenders that can leave tubes exposed. This form-fitting design maximizes the contact area, distributing impact forces evenly and effectively to prevent focused pressure points that could damage the tube fabric.

At its core, the fender is made from closed cell polyethylen foam. This advanced material is not only lightweight for easy handling but also incredibly resilient and will not absorb water, ensuring it remains buoyant and effective season after season. Unlike traditional inflatable fenders, it can´t be punctured or deflated, offering consistent and dependable protection you can always count on in any condition. Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, the material is both UV and hydrocarbon resistant. This means it won´t degrade, crack, or become brittle under prolonged sun exposure, and it will resist damage from accidental fuel or oil spills, maintaining its integrity and appearance for years to come.

The primary function of this fender is to provide efficient protection against abrasion along pontoons or jetties. Its tough yet forgiving surface acts as the ultimate shield, preventing the scuffs, scratches, and wear that can compromise the look and longevity of your boat´s tubes. Safeguard your investment and keep your vessel looking pristine, whether you are docking in a familiar marina or exploring new, rugged coastlines.

When your day on the water is done, storage is a breeze. The clever design ensures the fender stacks easily for storage, a crucial advantage on boats where space is at a premium. This compact storage solution means you can have robust protection without sacrificing valuable deck or locker space. Equip your vessel with the best defense available and enjoy worry-free boating with the Plastimo Rib Fender
