Hitech shock cells are unique shock absorbers primarily used for the protection of offshore platforms. A specifically formulated, very resilient rubber element is sandwiched between two eccentric steel tubes that constitute the shock cells.
Shock cells are excellent at both lateral and axial deflection and can absorb a lot of energy with very low reaction force. They are excellent for offshore applications because of their compact footprint and a high degree of versatility.
To increase energy absorption and use along a barge bumper, shock cells can also be fitted with an eccentric bumper ring. For varied load scenarios and pile diameters, Hitech provides shock cells in a range of tube sizes and lengths.
