Maxwell RC12-10 Vertical Automatic Rope and Chain Hydraulic Windlass
The Maxwell RC12-10 is a stainless steel vertical automatic rope/chain windlass from Maxwell’s top-range RC Series. This hydraulic version is designed for controlled anchoring operations using short-link chain and nylon rope. The automatic rope/chain handling system ensures reliable transition between rope and chain during deployment and retrieval.
The windlass is equipped with a ratcheted mechanism lever that prevents backwinding during emergency manual retrieval of the anchor rode. For correct and safe operation, 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 systems must also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position when underway.
