MAXWELL RC8 High Chain Stopper Gray, 8 mm

Maxwell has a new chain stopper designed which perfectly fits our RC series range of windlasses, (suitable for 8 to 10 mm (5/16´´to 3/8´´) anchor chain). Windlasses are not designed to hold the high loads that can be transmitted through the chain when at anchor. The chain should be secured with a chain stopper or the rope secured to a cleat, bollard or some other load bearing point. Maxwell has created a new chain stopper who is height matched to our popular RC series range of windlasses. Features: - Height matched to suit chain level of RC series windlasses which means no packers or plinths are necessary. - Body and pin made from 316 stainless steel and pawl made from high strength 2205 stainless steel. - Takes weight off the windlass and prevents accidental ´free fall´ of the anchor while under way. - Has a safe working load greater than the chains it is designed to work with (DIN766, G30 & G43). - High quality mirror polished finish. - Pawl shaped to match chain preventing damage to the galvanising caused by traditionally shaped pawls.
