VC 6000 Mega Capstan | Vessels 33-51m (108-167ft)
Built for vessels between 33 and 51 metres (108-167ft), the VC 6000 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 up to 2900kg on the hydraulic variant (2600kg on the 24V DC and AC drive options), the VC 6000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 2138kg on the hydraulic drive (1500kg on DC and AC), 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 6000 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.
