Maxwell RC12-10 Hydraulic 90TDC CW Vertical Anchor Windlass with Drum (Vetus P104911)
The Maxwell RC12-10 Hydraulic is a vertical automatic rope/chain windlass from Maxwell’s top-range RC Series, designed for vessels that utilise hydraulic drive systems. It is engineered to handle 10 mm short-link chain and 16–20 mm nylon rope, providing controlled deployment and retrieval of the anchor rode in demanding marine environments.
The windlass integrates an automatic rope/chain gypsy and an independent drum for versatile rope handling. Activation of the ratcheted mechanism lever ensures the windlass cannot backwind during emergency manual retrieval of the rode and anchor. For safe operation, Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper and/or an alternative snubbing device to remove load from the windlass while at anchor and to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
Every Maxwell automatic rope/chain windlass is supplied with all necessary components for fully automatic dual-direction control. The RC12-10 series is also available in versions with increased deck clearance.
