This design is particulary well suited to vessels requiring high service speeds such as patrol vessels as the reduced weight of rope/chain combination rodes removes weight from the front of the vessel.The RC12HD is fitted with a heavy duty fan cooled DC motor and fin cooled gearbox allowing running for extended periods. The RC12HD is available with either a 24VDC or Hydraulic motor. Run time on the DC version varies with load from continuous operation at loads up to 300kgf to a 5 minute run time at loads of 700kgf. The RC12HD features Maxwell's revolutionary and patented Wave Design ™ chainwheel.
The RC12HD is designed for use with 10 mm to 13 mm (3/8" to 1/2'') short link chain with 18 mm to 24 mm (3/4''to 7/8'') Nylon rope, the motor and gearbox are sized to meet typical Classification Society test requirements for 12.5 mm U1 Stud link chain.
