Maxwell RC12-11 Vertical Automatic Rope and Chain Hydraulic Windlass with Drum 190TDC ACW
The Maxwell RC12-11 is a stainless steel vertical automatic rope/chain hydraulic windlass with drum from the Maxwell RC12 Series, supplied under article number Vetus P104967. This model is equipped with a 190 TDC chainwheel with anti-clockwise (ACW) rotation and an integrated drum, engineered for high-load anchoring applications requiring reliable hydraulic performance and flexible line handling.
The hydraulic drive provides smooth, controlled operation during anchor deployment and retrieval. The windlass incorporates an automatic rope/chain handling system to ensure efficient transition between rope and chain. A ratcheted mechanism lever prevents backwinding during emergency manual recovery of the anchor rode, enhancing operational safety under heavy load conditions.
For safe and correct operation, this 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. The RC12-11 hydraulic windlass with drum is supplied as part of a complete automatic dual-direction control package.
