Chain stoppers stop the chain and take the load off the windlass. They are used to set and ride on the anchor, break free the anchor or to prevent accidental free fall of the anchor while under way. Also recommended for VW series rope and chain systems to hold the chain while changing over from rope to chain. Available in 8mm (5/16"), 10mm (3/8"), 13mm (1/2"). Larger versions are available in the Maxwell Superyacht range of products.

A yacht should never be underway without the anchor tightly stowed and a windlass should only be used for lowering and raising the chain and anchor. A device other than the windlass is therefore required to hold the anchor snug when it is stowed.
Boat designers and builders also asked if Maxwell could incorporate a tensioning device into the chain stopper and the Roller-Stopper units. Thus were born the Stopper-Tensioner and Roller-Stopper-Tensioner units. The RST became an instant success giving the boat builder a unit that he could simply bolt to the deck in front of the windlass and have a completely integrated system allowing safe and easy handling of anchor deployment and retrieval with any side pocket anchor installation.

Anchor chain stoppers are installed on board the vessel between windlass and a hawse pipe. When ship is anchored full chain load is taken over by chain stopper. According to the Classification Society rules chain stoppers have a holding force equal to 80% of a chain breaking load. During lowering/weighing of an anchor chain stopper locking is lifted what grants safe chain paying out/hauling in.
Towimor SA offers the following chain stoppers types:
- roller type chain stoppers SL
- roller type adjustable stoppers SL-S
- jaw type stoppers SSL
- pawl type chain stoppers - SZL
