The Maxwell 1000 VWLP hydraulic anchor windlass is part of the VW Series and features a low-profile (VWLP) design intended for installations where reduced above-deck height is required. It is engineered for traditional rope and chain combination anchor rodes, where manual transfer of the rode from the rope warping drum to the chainwheel is required. The compact 50TDC configuration makes it suitable for sailing boat anchor lockers with limited available space.
