HR 26000 Mega Horizontal Windlass | Vessels 75-130m (246-427ft)
Built for vessels between 75 and 130 metres (246-427ft), the HR 26000 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 10000kg and a continuous pull of 7500kg across all drive options, the HR 26000 delivers reliable anchor retrieval at speeds from 10m/min 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 26000 accepts stud link chain up to U2-38mm, with a 660mm 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.
For full technical drawings and package inclusions, see the specifications below or download the Mega Catalogue.
One thing worth flagging: HR 22000, HR 24000 and HR 26000 currently show identical technical specification tables on the live site (same vessel length, pull ratings, chain and brake sizes). If that’s not intentional, it’s worth checking with whoever maintains the product data before these descriptions go live.

Reviews
Muir windlasses offer the ultimate in anchoring performance, reliability and style.
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”
Stebercraft vessels
“Stebercraft vessels are built to rigid design and exacting marine standards… we will still be supporting Muir Winches ‘til the cows come home”
I can highly recommend Muir as a company
“I can highly recommend Muir as a company who build superior equipment and who stand by their product anywhere in the world”
