HRC horizontal windlasses
Maxwell, a brand synonymous with innovation, reliability, and technical expertise in the marine industry, offers a range of horizontal windlasses designed to meet the diverse needs of boat owners. In this category, we have two exceptional product lines: the HRC10 Horizontal Series and the HRCFF Series.
HRC10 Horizontal Series: Precision and Power
Maxwell's HRC10 Horizontal Series is the epitome of excellence in fully-automatic rope/chain anchor winches. These windlasses effortlessly handle 8mm (5/16") and 10mm (⅜") short link chain, as well as 14mm (9/16") and 16mm (⅝") three-strand or 8-braid (plait) rope, offering versatility to boat owners.
One of the standout features of the HRC10 Series is its sleek above-deck design, encapsulating the motor and drive in a two-part watertight case. This not only saves space below deck but also allows for easy, on-deck maintenance. The die-cast, marine-grade alloy front section combined with a rugged composite motor cover ensures durability and longevity.
Maxwell's patented Wave Design™ chainwheel accommodates various chain pitch differences, providing exceptional rope and chain handling. The HRC10 works flawlessly with all-chain rodes, offering added security and holding power.
With a cone-type clutch/brake mechanism, the HRC10 allows for manual 'free-fall' anchoring and emergency crank recovery, ensuring safety and peace of mind. The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard-anodized alloy gearbox provide high-efficiency output drive.
Maxwell's HRC10 Horizontal Series exemplifies the VETUS values of innovation, reliability, trust, and commitment to product quality. Its integration into your anchoring system promises effortless and dependable performance.
HRCFF Series: Unmatched Free-Fall Control
The HRCFF Series represents Maxwell's automatic free-fall windlasses, offering a compact and efficient solution for boats ranging from 5m (16ft) to 11m (36ft). These windlasses are available in three sizes to suit different chain types.
The standout feature of the HRCFF is its automatic free-fall technology, allowing you to effortlessly deploy your anchor by activating the 'Free Fall' lever. When it's time to lift the anchor, the 'free fall' function disengages automatically when you activate the up control.
The windlass can also operate without free-fall by switching a control lever, providing flexibility to users. Maxwell has designed the HRCFF with fishermen and trailer-boat builders in mind, ensuring rapid anchoring without drift.
The HRCFF combines a durable, highly functional, and compact design with the convenience of automatic free fall, all in line with Maxwell's commitment to quality and technical expertise.
Both the HRC10 Horizontal Series and the HRCFF Series are exceptional additions to Maxwell's lineup of horizontal windlasses. They offer boat owners peace of mind, reliability, and the assurance of a trusted brand with a stellar reputation in the marine industry. Whether you seek precision and power or unmatched free-fall control, Maxwell's horizontal windlasses have you covered.
