Lofrans engineers have been dedicated to the design and manufacture of anchor management solutions for over 50 years.
Lofrans windlasses combine top performance, absolute safety and stylish design on deck.
Lofrans has become synonymous with quality and reliability with a wide range suitable for boats and yachts from 6m to 50m.
Lofrans are innovators in design e.g. Automatic Free Fall, the Control Box and the “plugandplay” windlass.
Lofrans believe that building a top quality windlass is based on sourcing the best, lightweight, high mechanical strength and corrosion proof materials.
Horizontal Windlass - marine grade aluminium alloy, polished and anodised to the utmost marine environment weatherproof protection, or finished with a smart, impervious white powder coating.
Vertical Windlass - mirror polished chrome finish on hot forged bronze or polished finish marine grade AISI 316L stainless steel.
Lofrans design, engineer and manufacture their windlass motors and gearboxes to deliver high torque, high speed and long running capability in a harsh marine environment.
N.B. IP Rating stands for International protection Rating or Ingress Protection rating
Lofrans Components
Manual Override - This function means that the chain and anchor can still be retrieved in the event of electrical failure, with the added benefit of preventing a chain jam from damaging the deck.
Independently Operated Rope Drum and Chain Gypsy: This is a useful feature which means that each function can be controlled separately e.g. using the drum for pulling in or tensioning warps.
Automatic Free Fall Option: Activating the DOWN button on the remote control disengages the clutch and allows the weight of the anchor to pull the chain out over the stem head roller and into the water.
Rope and Chain Gypsy Management: Lofrans have designed a gypsy which will grip rope as well as chain. The links of a correctly calibrated chain sit snugly in the gypsy pockets. The combination rope/chain gypsy works with the aid of a special spring-loaded tension finger (arm) which pushes the rope deep inside the pockets of the gypsy.
Chain only Gypsy: Royal, Kobra, Cayman, Tigres, Falkon
Chain and Rope Combination Gypsy: Lion, Dorado and X1, X2 X3, SX1, SX2, SX3
Control Box included - also known as a solenoid or relay - this is either included as a separate unit or built in to the motor
