HRC horizontal windlasses

The HRC10 Horizontal Series windlasses proudly follow in the highly-successful footsteps of Maxwell’s previous, fully-automatic rope/chain anchor winches.

Features and benefits

  • The HRC10 fully-automatic horizontal windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 8mm (5/16”) and 10mm (⅜”) short link chain and 14mm (9/16”) and 16mm (⅝”) three-strand or 8-braid (plait) rope
  • The more powerful HRC10-10 can be use with 10mm (⅜”) chain spliced to 16mm (⅝”) 8-braid (plait) rope
  • The aesthetically pleasing above-deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form following function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two-part watertight case, saving space below deck
  • The two-part case consists of a die-cast, marine-grade, hard-anodized alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section 
  • This two-piece watertight case allows for quick, easy, on-deck, routine maintenance
  • Simple ‘bolt-down’ installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set-up
  • The stainless steel (AISI 316) pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain)
  • The revolutionary patented Wave Design™ chainwheel is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences, within the specified chain size diameters, suitable for use with the HRC10 Series
  • The unique Maxwell ‘wrap-around’ horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90° of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs
  • The HRC10 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire the added security and holding power of an all-chain anchor system
  • The integral chain pipe and huge, through-deck hawse pipe throat ensure easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker
  • Cone-type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, ‘free-fall’ anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if required
  • The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard-anodised, alloy gearbox provides high-efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel
