The Rope Chain Management System (RCMS)
The Rope Chain Management System (RCMS) facilitates smooth rope-chain operation and is available by replacing a standard chain pipe with the RCMS unit.
RCMS incorporates a spring loaded finger arrangement fitted to a separate chain pipe that directs and pushes the rope into the inner jaw of the gypsy whilst allowing the chain to follow and pass through automatically. A stripper/peeler assembly fits around the gypsy hub to prevent the rope from jamming and facilitates a smooth vertical drop into the chain locker.
Independent Rope Capstan Operation
Most Compact models feature a knurled capstan that can be operated independently of the gypsy/chainwheel for line handling or auxillary purposes.
Manual Operation
Manual operation is standard on all models from HR1600 to 4200 ensuring complete back up should battery power fail or emergency situation prevail.
Ease of Installation
Installation of the Compact range is quick & simple with no separate drive assembly to be mounted below deck.
Performance
Operational performance of the Compact models is further enhanced by the high vertical drop to the chain locker and the 90 degree wrap of chain and rope on the gypsy that provides quick and trouble free deployment and retrieval.
