The RC12-10 and RC12-12 models bring forth the next generation of rope/chain windlasses, enveloped in Maxwell's hallmark commitment to quality.
Features and Benefits:
Effortless Handling: The RC12 Series is meticulously crafted to facilitate the smooth retrieval and deployment of 10 to 13mm short link chain, paired with 16 to 22mm 8-braid nylon rope. Built with stainless steel (AISI 316), these windlasses ensure durability and longevity, embodying VETUS's core value of reliability.
Unmatched Power: With a robust maximum pull of 1,590kg (3500lb) and an impressive anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 stands as one of the fastest and most powerful windlasses in its class, aligning perfectly with VETUS's commitment to technical expertise.
Sleek Options: The RC12 Series offers versatility with two distinctive designs: a sleek low-profile version and a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version. These options cater to various preferences while adhering to Maxwell's traditional aesthetics.
Innovative Design: Maxwell’s dedication to innovation is evident in the RC12's revolutionary features. Built on the foundation of the successful RC6, RC8, and RC10 series windlasses, the RC12 combines patented innovations with a timeless design that embraces the principle of "form follows function."
Stainless Steel Excellence: Reflecting Maxwell's devotion to product quality, the RC12 features an elegantly designed deckplate, chainpipe cover, heavy-duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel, and fluted capstan drum - all manufactured from polished marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316).
Precise Control: The RC12's double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism allows for 'Free Fall' anchoring. This mechanism guarantees smooth, progressive engagement, ensuring the utmost operator control in alignment with VETUS's emphasis on trust and safety.
Wave Design™ Chainwheel: Maxwell's patented Wave Design™ chainwheel, a hallmark of the RC12, optimizes performance and efficiency. This design enhances anchor handling and retrieval, perfectly aligning with VETUS's values of innovation and commitment to excellence.
Active Latch Ratchet System: Maxwell's unique "Active Latch Ratchet System" empowers emergency manual retrieval. This innovative system prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor, underscoring VETUS's dedication to customer support.
Advanced Gearbox Design: The RC12 Series incorporates a cutting-edge black, hard-anodised gearbox that's not only corrosion-resistant but also compact. This design choice enables hassle-free installation, maintenance, and service, all while aligning with VETUS's commitment to innovation and technical expertise.
Customization and Compatibility: The RC12 Series offers a range of options for customization, including AutoAnchor™ equipment, a compact remote, foot switches, chain stoppers, chain snubbers, and a capstan model. This diverse selection ensures a tailored experience for every user.
Incorporating the values of innovation, reliability, trust, technical expertise, and commitment to product quality, the RC12 Series by Maxwell is a pinnacle of automatic rope/chain windlass technology. It encapsulates VETUS's ethos while providing boating enthusiasts with unparalleled performance, design, and ease of use. Discover the future of windlass evolution with the RC12 Series – where style meets substance, and quality meets innovation.
