Efficient chain handling with independent capstan for versatile anchoring solutions.
The Maxwell VW1500 Series Vertical Windlass is engineered for the automatic handling of chain-only anchor rodes, featuring an independent capstan that facilitates the retrieval of secondary ropes or chains. This design enhances docking procedures and provides flexibility in anchoring applications. Constructed from marine-grade 316 stainless steel and chromed bronze, the windlass ensures long-term durability and resistance to harsh marine environments.
With a maximum pull of 1870 pounds and a working load limit of 3300 pounds, the VW1500 Series delivers reliable performance. It boasts a maximum line speed of 59 feet per minute, making it efficient for various anchoring tasks. The modular design simplifies through-deck installation, while the anodized aluminum gearbox and spacer contribute to its robust construction.
The windlass features a cone-type brake and clutch mechanism that allows for manual 'free fall' anchoring, providing smooth and progressive engagement for safe operator control. Additionally, the heavy-duty dual direction Cima motor is specifically designed for marine winches, ensuring dependable operation. The unit can be easily disassembled for servicing, making maintenance straightforward.
