LOFRANS INTRODUCES VERTICAL WINDLASSES
Lofrans announced an expansion of its range of vertical windlasses the SX series, which provides anchoring solutions for both sail and motorboats up to 30 metres.
The SX series consists of the models: SX 1, SX 2, SX 3, SX 3.5, SX 4 and SX 5, which are characterised by its round base design offering a more compact structure. Stainless steel is used to withstand marine corrosion in order to reach best mechanical performance. Featuring a heavy duty electric motor ensuring a high level of reliability and safety is achieved, making the anchoring experience a pleasure.
