Its robust design and powerful operation provide the confidence you need to anchor securely in a variety of conditions, making it an essential piece of equipment for any serious mariner.

When selecting your anchoring system, it´s crucial to consider the unique layout of your vessel. As LOFRANS advises:

Reliability and Efficiency on board!

The space that is available above and under the deck is the key element to be considered when you are in the process of selecting the proper type of anchor windlass.

Horizontal windlasses are installed on the deck and feature a horizontal rotation in relation to the deck. They are recommended for chain lockers with a reduced height or volume. The electric motor and the gearbox are protected by a cover and they are easily accessible for maintenance.

Also keep in mind that the height between the top of the stacked chain and the underdeck must be 300 mm minimum in order to ensure a fast dropping of the chain in the locker and an optimum performance of the windlass.⁣

The LOFRANS Tigres perfectly embodies these principles of efficient and practical design. Its on-deck installation simplifies maintenance, while its powerful performance ensures your anchor chain is managed flawlessly. Built with marine-grade materials and packed with user-centric features, the Tigres is designed for the real-world challenges of the sea.
