The Maxwell HRC 8 Windlass is a robust and reliable anchor handling system designed for marine applications. It features a powerful motor and smooth operation for efficient anchor chain management. The anchor chains are durable, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with the HRC 8 Windlass for secure anchoring.

The Maxwell HRC 8 Windlass is designed for boats up to 50 feet, with a maximum load capacity of 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs). It supports chain sizes of 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm, compatible with ISO 4565 and DIN 766 standards. Anchor chains are typically Grade 30 or Grade 40 high-tensile steel, with a breaking load ranging from 3,200 kg to 6,300 kg depending on size. The windlass operates at 12V or 24V DC, with a retrieval speed of approximately 12 meters per minute. Chain material is hot-dip galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. Buoyancy is not applicable for chains, but nylon rode options may be used for lighter vessels. Hydraulic fluid viscosity (if applicable) should match ISO VG 32 or equivalent for optimal performance.
