Maxwell RC12-HD Hydraulic Vertical Windlass 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 configuration is particularly suited to patrol and professional vessels, where the use of combined rope and chain rodes helps reduce weight at the bow and improve overall 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 concept and features Maxwell’s patented Wave Design™ chainwheel, providing smooth chain engagement and secure operation. The hydraulic drive version is intended for installations where consistent performance under load is required. This configuration is supplied without a drum and is optimized for chainwheel-only operation.
