This motor was initially installed on our Project 1000, which received the DAME award. Lofrans' anchor windlass Lofrans' founded in Monza/Italy in1966 and since then has been dedicated to designing and manufacturing windlasses and anchor management solutions that combine top performance, absolute safety and style. Using this configuration, the installation of the product was made faster, easier and the reliability of the chain-counter system greatly improved. We were the first to introduce to the market products and solutions, such as the AUTOMATIC FREE FALL, the CONTROL BOX, and last but not least, the PROJECT versions of our X range, a last generation “PLUG&PLAY” anchor windlass, with a built-in solenoid motor and rich of other innovations, which have succeeded in merging technology and function to give the end user the maximum reliability and safety. Always at the cutting edge of technique in electro-mechanics, Lofrans was often a pioneer and created solutions which have now become standard. At Lofrans, we believe that durability and performance start with an extremely stringent selection of components: only AISI 316 L stainless steel, marine grade metals and electric motors designed to deliver high torque in all conditions. Being one of the most weather-beaten and mechanically challenged equipment on the deck, a windlass could not stand anything else than premium materials.
