Maxwell leads the market in innovative thinking with the introduction of their latest Wave Design™ chain wheel. Incorporating 2 new unique design concepts, the Wave Design greatly improves the handling and control of the rope and chain spliced rode. The outer ribs of the chain wheel are angled slightly forward ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval. As the rope pulls into the wheel, the opposite facing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating manner, securing the rope more firmly in a 'wave pattern' action. This method of rope clamping is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope compared to all other products on the market. Not only does this Maxwell Wave Design™ hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode.

The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
