Maxwell RC12-12 Vertical Automatic Rope and Chain Hydraulic Windlass with Drum 90TDC ACW
The Maxwell RC12-12 is a stainless steel vertical automatic rope/chain hydraulic windlass with drum from Maxwell’s RC12 Series, supplied under article number Vetus P104932. This model is equipped with a 90 TDC chainwheel with anti-clockwise (ACW) rotation and is engineered for demanding anchoring applications requiring reliable hydraulic performance.
Designed for use with 12–13 mm short link chain and 20 mm nylon rope, the RC12-12 delivers a maximum pull of 1590 kg. The automatic rope/chain handling system ensures smooth and controlled anchor deployment and retrieval under load, while the integrated drum provides additional flexibility for rope handling and auxiliary line operations.
The windlass incorporates a ratcheted mechanism lever that prevents backwinding during emergency manual recovery of the anchor rode. For safe and correct 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 securing systems must also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position when the vessel is underway.
