Maxwell RC12-HD Hydraulic Vertical Windlass for 11–12 mm Chain, 200 TDC
The Maxwell RC12-HD Hydraulic is a heavy-duty vertical windlass developed for vessels requiring high service speeds and reliable anchoring performance. Its design is particularly suitable for patrol and professional vessels, where the use of rope and chain combination rodes helps reduce weight at the bow and improve vessel balance.
This windlass 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 are sized to meet 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 drive version is intended for installations requiring consistent performance under load and is supplied in a chainwheel-only configuration without an integrated drum.
