VRC 6000 Mega Vertical Windlass | Vessels 30-42m (98-138ft)
Built for vessels between 30 and 42 metres (98-138ft), the VRC 6000 combines Muir’s precision engineering with the heavy-duty capacity today’s superyachts and large commercial vessels demand.
Rated to a maximum pull of up to 2900kg and a continuous pull of up to 2138kg on the hydraulic variant (1300-1430kg on the electric drive options), the VRC 6000 delivers reliable anchor retrieval at speeds from 10m/min up to 22m/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 6000 accepts short link chain up to 16mm and stud link chain up to U2-16mm, with a 230mm 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.

I still have great pleasure in specifying Muir winches
“Muir engineering have gone on to establish a global reputation as one of, if not the best, in the business... I still have great pleasure in specifying Muir winches on Incat new builds”
Working for Muir has improved our quality
“Working for Muir has improved our quality… Muir is always after ever-better quality”
It is very nice that when we call with a question
