Lofrans Windlass Foot Switch

Lofrans marine footswitches provide foot-operated control for compatible windlass and onboard control systems. Choose code 600011 for a red DOWN switch, 600012 for a black UP switch or 602121 for a blue WASH DOWN switch. Each model operates on 12-24V DC, is rated IP67 and has a 5A maximum contact rating.

The footswitch is operated by pressing the rubber button with the foot, allowing the operator to keep their hands available during anchoring or washdown operations. Its compact deck-mounted design measures 80 x 95 x 20mm and weighs 100g.

The base is manufactured from stainless steel, while the grey composite cover helps protect the button against accidental engagement. The button is made from specialised marine rubber designed to withstand UV exposure and the marine environment.

All three variants are rated IP67 and are specified for operating temperatures from -10°C to +60°C. The electrical system must operate at 12-24V DC and remain within the published maximum contact rating of 5A.
