hydraulic starters
Engineered power for high-torque, heavy-duty applications, for engines up to 80 litres.
Powerstart’s hydraulic engine starting solutions provide guaranteed reliability for diesel and gas engines up to 80 litres.
This truly independent starting solution is capable of offering black-start (or dead-ship) capabilities. As a result, it can be used as your primary or secondary method of starting an engine. It’s also the ideal choice for emergency generators and those in hazardous areas with ATEX safety requirements.
Powerstart were the first company in the world to manufacture cast iron hydraulic starter motors, making them more robust and longer lasting than those made with alternative materials. Cast iron is especially suited for underground applications, where lighter metals such as aluminum are usually banned.

Advantages
Powerstart hydraulic starters require no electricity and are completely non-sparking, making them ideal for use in flameproof and hazardous environments.
They deliver higher power-to-weight performance than electric systems, providing more torque per kilogram while reducing overall engine starter weight.
Fully sealed construction ensures immunity to contaminants such as coal dust, corrosive salt spray and other harsh environmental conditions. All moving parts are oil-immersed for long service life.
