HR 15000 Mega Horizontal Windlass | Vessels 51-80m (167-262ft)
Built for vessels between 51 and 80 metres (167-262ft), the HR 15000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand. Its horizontal configuration keeps the drive mechanism enclosed above deck, an advantage where space below deck is at a premium.
Rated to a maximum pull of 6820kg, the HR 15000 delivers a continuous pull of up to 4600kg on the hydraulic variant (3500kg on the AC drive options), 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 windlass to the vessel’s onboard power system.
The HR 15000 accepts stud link chain up to U2-26mm, with a 457mm brake for secure chain holding under load. As with the rest of Muir’s Mega Line, it’s 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”
Remarkable Equipment
“This remarkable equipment has come out of a little place called Tasmania, which half the world doesn’t even know exists; out of a place called Kingston, which people definitely don’t know of; and its sold by these funny Tasmanians who are dogmatic, passionate and brilliant at what they do. They’re the ultimate product”
Make sure the winch you design
“Until I retire Ill still be unofficially selling Muir winches because it’s the best production the world. I recommend it because it’s my reputation riding on everything I build. You have to be able to put your hand on your heart… when you recommend a product. I have history with Muir now, I don’t check any of their specs or equipment… I just trust them 100%”
