Maxwell HWC3500 Anchor Windlass and Capstan.

FEATURES

Fully automatic single or dual direction chainwheel operation.

'MAX-grip™' warping drum for independent rope hauling.

Optional dual anchor handling with smooth independent control of each chainwheel via cone clutches.

Chainpipe and stripper included.

Cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits manual 'free-fall' anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement ensuring safe and precise operator control.

Chainwheel locking pawl.

Simple deck mounted installation with no under deck parts.

Simplified maintenance with ability to strip the running gear (chainwheel and capstan drum) from the windlass without disturbing the windlass mounting.

Heavy duty, dual-direction motors, designed for marine winches.

Chainwheel and warping drum of high-quality chrome finish over marine-grade alloy bronze.

Marine-grade alloy casing pretreated, powder coated and finished with a two component white polyurethane paint.
Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper or snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
