Founded in 1966 in Monza, Italy, Lofrans' built its reputation on the production of windlasses for recreational and commercial vessels. The company focuses on anchoring technology, engineering systems capable of enduring the marine environment. Currently operating under the Lalizas group, Lofrans' remains a point of reference for owners seeking deck equipment. The technical approach relies on the use of durable materials such as AISI 316L stainless steel, marine-grade alloys, and chrome-plated bronze. This choice ensures that components like gearboxes, drums, and motor housings resist saltwater corrosion. Their catalog addresses boat sizes from 6-meter day cruisers to 50-meter yachts, ensuring that the torque and speed requirements for each vessel type are met with specific mechanical designs. Whether you are dealing with a vertical windlass for a confined bow space or a horizontal model for cruising, Lofrans' provides solutions for the anchoring process. Their commitment is reflected in the integration of electronic management systems, such as control boxes and chain counters. In Italy, the brand is supported through the distribution network of Osculati, which facilitates access to replacement parts and technical assistance.
