Supreme Rubber’s Keyhole Fenders are specially designed for small to medium-sized vessels such as tugboats, barges, pilot boats, and pontoons. Named for their distinctive keyhole-shaped cross-section, these fenders offer excellent shear resistance, high impact absorption, and ease of installation through a central groove or slot that accommodates bolts or chain fasteners. Their compact yet rugged form makes them ideal for use along hull edges, bow/stern contours, or as protective strakes in high-abrasion areas.
