Maxwell RC12-11 Vertical Automatic Rope and Chain Windlass with Drum 24V 1200W 90TDC CW
The Maxwell RC12-11 is a vertical automatic rope/chain windlass from the Maxwell RC12 Series, supplied under article number Vetus P104916. This model features a robust 24 V DC, 1200 W electric motor with clockwise (CW) rotation and a 90 TDC chainwheel, combined with an integrated drum for additional rope handling functionality. The RC12-11 is engineered for dependable anchoring performance on a wide range of marine vessels.
The RC12 Series incorporates Maxwell’s advanced automatic rope/chain handling design, enabling smooth transition between rope and chain during anchoring operations. A ratcheted mechanism lever prevents backwinding during emergency manual retrieval of the anchor rode, enhancing safety and control during operation. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
For safe and correct use, the windlass must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper and/or an alternative snubbing device to remove load from the windlass while the vessel is lying at anchor. These devices must also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position when underway. The RC12-11 with drum is supplied as part of a complete automatic dual-direction control package. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
