VC 4500 Mega Capstan | Vessels 24-39m (79-128ft)
Built for vessels between 24 and 39 metres (79-128ft), the VC 4500 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 2200kg, the VC 4500 delivers a continuous pull of up to 1050kg on the hydraulic variant (750-1000kg on the 24V DC and AC drive options), with retrieval speeds from 10m/min up to 20m/min. It’s available in 24V DC, 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 4500 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.

Reviews
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”
Why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear
“There are a number of reasons why I really like Muir winch and anchor gear. When we were cray fishing, then drop lining, the muir gear is simple to operate, no matter what the sea conditions are”
It is very nice that when we call with a question
“It is very nice that when we call with a question [Muir] will try to give you the needed information as quickly as possible, but more than that, they will think with you”
