Lofrans Windlasses Have What It Takes.

Making anchoring easy takes hard work - by your windlass.

So, it's important that this piece of equipment has what it takes in solid construction and exceptional engineering.

Here's what Lofrans does:

Lofrans uses purpose-built (for maritime exposure), series-wound electric motors - for higher power ratings, faster retrieval speeds, easy servicing, greater dependability and longer lasting service.

Lofrans' worm drives and main shafts are made of high-torque stainless steel (38NCD4); gears and clutch cones are bronze (UNI5274). Chain wheels are nickel-plated bronze - where competitors use less durable aluminum, even plastic!

Lofrans' unique aluminum collar design (most competitors' are steel) won't bind or corrode over years in a saltwater environment. And many of our components are hot forged, a more costly method to achieve higher strength (from a more compact molecular structure) and better surface condition.

Lofrans is the only manufacturer to offer thru-deck windlasses with double seals to keep water out and double bearings to ensure a lifetime of reliable operation. Our vertical windlass gearbox assemblies have a multi-position mounting arrangement, allowing the motor to be oriented in virtually any direction below deck.

Safety concerns drive us to offer manual override. Experience leads us to combination wheels which securely hold chain and positively yet kindly grip rope. And practicality is seen in the easy way that Lofrans windlasses can be installed and maintained.
