VC 24000 Mega Capstan | Vessels 120-170m (394-558ft)
Built for vessels between 120 and 170 metres (394-558ft), the VC 24000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand. Usually mounted on the aft deck or amidships, it handles mooring and docking lines with remote control or foot switch operation for hands-free use.
Rated to a maximum pull of 11000kg, the VC 24000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 8400kg on the hydraulic variant (7000kg on the 50Hz AC drive), with retrieval speeds up to 20m/min. It’s available in 50Hz AC, 60Hz AC or hydraulic drive configurations, giving specifiers flexibility to match the capstan to the vessel’s onboard power system.
As with the rest of Muir’s Mega Line, the VC 24000 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.

Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
Which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving
“The fact that Muir always keeps the focus on their main business, being anchor systems, gives me the confidence that my customers can rely on that ‘shiny thing on the foredeck’ which can all of a sudden be the last bit of hope of surviving”
