VC 8000 Mega Capstan | Vessels 45-60m (148-197ft)
Built for vessels between 45 and 60 metres (148-197ft), the VC 8000 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 3800kg, the VC 8000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 3000kg on the hydraulic variant (2200kg on the 50Hz AC drive), with retrieval speeds up to 20m/min. It’s available in 50Hz AC or hydraulic drive, 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 8000 is designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001 standards, built to perform in the demanding environments the superyacht and commercial marine industry requires.
