Vetus P105898 - Maxwell Windlass RC12-HD, 13mm 220/400V 50Hz AC, 200TDC ACW, with Drum

Maxwell RC12-HD 13 mm 220/400 V 50 Hz AC Windlass 200TDC ACW with Drum (Vetus P105898)

The Maxwell RC12-HD 13 mm 220/400 V AC windlass with drum (Vetus P105898) is engineered for robust marine anchor handling on vessels with standard 220/400 V, 50 Hz AC electrical systems. Built on Maxwell’s heavy-duty RC12HD vertical platform, this windlass combines a powerful AC drive with a high-capacity gearbox and integrated drum to retrieve and deploy 10 mm–13 mm short-link chain and rope efficiently. The 200 mm total deck clearance (200TDC) and anticlockwise (ACW) rotation configuration make this model suitable for a wide range of anchoring applications requiring reliable performance and flexible deck layout options. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
