VRC 24000 Mega Vertical Windlass | Vessels 95-140m (312-459ft)
Built for vessels between 95 and 140 metres (312-459ft), the VRC 24000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand.
Rated to a maximum pull of 13000kg and a continuous pull of up to 8500kg across all drive options, the VRC 24000 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 VRC 24000 accepts stud link chain up to U2-46mm, with a 725mm 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.
