Impact Protection

Heavy-Duty Fender Systems

Production Line

Standard Profiles and Specialised Sections

Our production line includes standard P-shape and D-shape impact fenders, alongside specialised profiles designed for the structure or vessel they protect.

P-Shape

Standard impact fender profile, produced as a continuous extrusion for fixing along the contact face.

D-Shape

Standard impact fender profile presenting a wide contact face that compresses predictably under load.

Specialised Profiles

Sections designed specifically for the dock, hull, facility or machine they protect, developed with in-house die tooling.

Compound Performance

European Materials, European Standards

All our fender extrusions are manufactured exclusively using European raw materials and comply strictly with European manufacturing standards, formulated to withstand demanding outdoor environments.

Kinetic Energy Absorption

Formulated to provide the precise kinetic energy absorption required to protect infrastructure from high-impact collisions.

Continuous Friction

Resists degradation from continuous physical friction at the contact face, cycle after cycle.

UV & Ozone Resistance

Compounded to withstand ozone attack and sustained sunlight across long outdoor service life.

Temperature Fluctuation

Holds its properties through extreme temperature swings in demanding outdoor environments.

Where They Are Used

Protecting Structures and Vessels

Wherever a vessel or a vehicle comes into contact with a structure, the fender takes the impact instead.

Marine & Sea Transport

Fender systems for vessels and sea transport, and for the dockside structures they berth against.

Loading Docks

The dock face takes a docking impact from a reversing truck many times a day. The fender absorbs it instead of the concrete.

Industrial Facilities

Walls, columns and platform edges in plants where vehicles and equipment move against the structure under constant use.

Heavy Machinery

Contact points on and around heavy equipment, where a compressible section prevents metal-to-metal damage.

Transport Hubs

High-frequency vehicle movement areas where contact with the structure is continuous rather than occasional.

Infrastructure

Structural protection points on public and civil infrastructure exposed to repeated impact.

Why Torino

Engineered to Compete on a Global Scale

Our engineered rubber and plastic extrusions — EPDM, TPE and silicone formulations — are designed to withstand continuous exposure to extreme environments and physical stress. By manufacturing exclusively with European raw materials to strict European specifications, Torino produces industrial-grade profiles that compete directly on a global scale.
