The Maxwell Roller Compressor Tensioner (RCT) is another solution for secure anchoring and for leading chain into the hawse pipe.
As an alternative to our standard range of Roller-Stopper-Tensioners (RST), the RCTs perform the same function in the anchoring setup, however, they allow easy release when chain is under tension.
Maxwell Deck Gear is constructed from 316 or Duplex stainless steel finished to a high-quality mirror polished finish. Designed to the requirements of major Classification Society Rules, the units are low maintenance and robust.
Square Rollers are used for larger stud link chain to protect them from deformation under load, while round rollers are used for smaller chain sizes and lighter loads.
The Devil’s Claw is designed to secure anchor tight in the pocket while vessel is underway.
They can be custom made for each application, including height matching to the windlass they are supplied with or angled base to match the angle of hawse pipe.
