Whether you´re setting anchor in a secluded cove or mooring in a busy harbour, the X3 delivers effortless performance every time. Its vertical design optimises deck space while offering exceptional pulling power, making it an ideal upgrade for a wide range of vessels.

Engineered for unparalleled durability, the X3 is built to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting service and protects your investment from corrosion and wear. The system is designed for ultimate versatility, accommodating modern hybrid anchoring rodes with seamless efficiency. The specialised gypsy handles both rope and chain smoothly, eliminating the need for manual intervention during deployment and retrieval. This advanced functionality is further enhanced by a spring-loaded arm that masterfully manages the line, preventing tangles and ensuring the rode feeds correctly onto the gypsy for flawless operation.

The LOFRANS X3 is packed with intelligent features that set it apart. Gain superior control with the independent gypsy and drum operation, allowing you to manage your anchor line and mooring lines separately and simultaneously. For enhanced precision, a chain counter magnet comes pre-installed as standard, enabling you to connect a chain counter for exact rode deployment. Safety and manual control are also paramount, with a manual chain release system and an available manual override for chromed bronze models, ensuring you have full command in any situation.
