The Lofrans range of horizontal anchor windlasses are suitable for boats from 18 up to 150 feet offering the best performance and functionality, when there is adequate deck space or if the chain locker has limited size or accessibility.They are simple to use, reliable, with their classic and timeless style making them perfect for many vessels, especially for the charter business.
Material and finish, marine grade aluminum alloy: Lofrans horizontal anchor windlasses are produced using marine grade aluminum alloy. The body is polished and anodized. Most of the components are made by hot forging. The horizontal models are available as the standard version, in anodized aluminum. Some models are available with a painted white polyester coating.
High performance motors: The horizontal windlasses' electric motors have been designed to supply high torque in all working conditions. They are available in 12 or 24 Volt DC current and 230-240 V three phase AC current. Most of the motors have an IP66 rating with a galvanized body painted with a polyester coating. Electric motors are specified to provide the necessary power for a long run. They are also designed to operate in high speed, so as to reduce operation time.
Lofrans' gearboxes: Lofrans horizontal windlasses use a proprietary high efficiency worm screw gearbox. It is non-reversible with the gears produced with specific material able to withstand high-load strain. All gearboxes are oil lubricated in order to minimize the working noise.
Manual override: Most Lofrans horizontal windlasses are supplied with manual override which makes the windlass capable of chain recovery in the case of electrical failure. The manual override has the secondary function to provide a safety mechanism so that chain jams do not damage the deck.
Independent drum from the chain gypsy: Horizontal models give the choice of utilizing the drum for warping operations independently from the gypsy.
