Lofrans X1 Vertical Electric Windlass - Low Profile

The Lofrans X1 is a 12V vertical anchor windlass designed for rope/chain combinations, available in 500W, 800W and 1000W configurations. It supports calibrated 6mm or 8mm chain with 3-strand rope and is offered in low-profile or with-drum versions depending on the selected MPN.

The X1 is part of the Lofrans X-series vertical windlass range. Vertical windlasses are installed with the motor below deck, allowing efficient chain fall into the locker.

The windlass features a combination gypsy with a spring-loaded arm to manage rope and chain transition. A chain-counter sensor is integrated into the base with a magnet in the gypsy.

Construction varies between chrome-plated bronze and anodised aluminium depending on the model. A watertight stainless-steel bearing ensures smooth operation.

Manual chain release is standard. Manual override is not available on X1 models.
