Maxwell RC12-HD Hydraulic Vertical Windlass with Drum for 11–12 mm Chain
The Maxwell RC12-HD Hydraulic is a heavy-duty vertical windlass engineered for vessels requiring high service speeds and reliable anchoring performance. Its design is particularly well suited to patrol and professional vessels, where the reduced weight of rope and chain combination rodes helps decrease load at the bow and improve vessel balance.
This model is designed for use with 10 mm to 13 mm short link chain and 18 mm to 24 mm nylon rope. The motor and gearbox sizing meets typical Classification Society test requirements for 12.5 mm U1 stud link chain, ensuring compatibility with demanding marine anchoring standards.
The RC12-HD platform incorporates a robust drivetrain and features Maxwell’s patented Wave Design™ chainwheel, providing smooth and secure chain engagement. The hydraulic version is intended for installations requiring consistent performance under load and is equipped with an integrated drum to support combined rope and chain handling.
