Hitech barge bumper system are used to absorb the berthing energy of the barges and tugs at offshore rigs. Two shock cells and a bumper post with revolving rubber rings constitute a barge bumper. This kind of arrangement enables loads to be absorbed both axially and horizontally, making it perfect for tough offshore conditions.
There are two different types of barge bumpers: one has a basic shock cell and the other has a shock cell that has an eccentric bumper ring attached. This type of configuration reduces the point load stress concentration on the bumper post and steel element and may support even higher loads.
