VRC 4500

VRC 4500 Mega Vertical Windlass | Vessels 18-30m (59-98ft)

Built for vessels between 18 and 30 metres (59-98ft), the VRC 4500 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand.

Rated to a maximum pull of 2300kg and a continuous pull of up to 1050kg (1600kg on the hydraulic variant), the VRC 4500 delivers reliable anchor retrieval at 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 windlass to the vessel’s onboard power system.

The VRC 4500 accepts short link chain up to 16mm and stud link chain from U2-14mm to U3-12.5mm, with a 150mm 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.
