The HWC Series is designed for automatic
horizontal handling of chain-only anchor rodes
while offering an independent capstan for the
retrieval of a secondary rope and chain rode or
to assist with docking procedures.

Features and benefits
• Fully automatic single or dual direction chainwheel operation,
for use with chain only rodes

fluted stainless steel snag-free warping drum with clutch
disengagement of chainwheel for positive control of all ropes

of each chainwheel via cone clutches
