Maxwell HRC Series Windlass (MPN: HRC101012VLP)

Advanced horizontal windlass for efficient anchor handling on larger vessels.

The Maxwell HRC Series Windlass is engineered for optimal performance in anchor handling, specifically designed for vessels up to 16 meters in length. This horizontal windlass features a fully automatic operation, capable of managing both 3/8 inch chain and 5/8 inch rope, making it versatile for various anchoring needs. The innovative design includes a two-part watertight case that houses the motor and drive, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance while saving space below deck.

A standout feature of the HRC Series is the patented Wave Design chainwheel, which enhances the handling of the rope and chain spliced rode. This design allows for smoother guidance and a more secure grip on the rope, significantly improving longevity and performance compared to traditional systems. The stainless steel pressure arm ensures maximum control over the rode, while the integral chain pipe facilitates easy entry and exit of the rode into the anchor locker.

With a maximum pull capacity of 1870 pounds and a powerful 1200 watt motor, the HRC Series Windlass is equipped to handle demanding anchoring tasks. The cone type clutch and brake mechanism allows for manual free fall anchoring, providing additional control when needed. This windlass is an essential tool for serious mariners looking for reliability and efficiency in their anchoring systems.

Features

• The aesthetically pleasing above deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form follows function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two part watertight case, saving space below deck
• The two part case consists of a die cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section
• This two piece watertight case allows for quick and easy, on-deck, routine maintenance; Simple "bolt down" installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up
• The stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain)
• The new and revolutionary patented Wave Design chainwheel is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences, within the specified chain size diameters
• The unique Maxwell "wrap around" horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90° of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs
• The integral chain pipe and huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker
• Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, "free fall" anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if required
• The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard anodised, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel
