Pneumatic starter motors
Proven reliability in explosive and offshore environments.
Powerstart’s pneumatic (air) starters reliably start diesel and gas engines up to 150 litres.
Our JetStream brand of air starters are powered by our unique turbine motor which we design and manufacture to be lightweight, powerful and compact. They are resistant to wear and damage making them ideal for marine and offshore applications.
Powerstart Jetstream air turbine starters are built for rugged use across marine, offshore, and land-based environments and are designed as an easy-to-install, fit-and-forget solution, requiring no lubrication.
Many clients choose air starting as it is a reliable and powerful method of starting an engine. You can even use your existing air supply to minimise costs and reduce the need for large air tanks.

Powerstart pneumatic starters are entirely non-electric, eliminating ignition risk and ensuring safe operation in explosive or offshore environments.
Designed for simplicity and reliability, they provide instant torque with minimal maintenance and no dependency on batteries or complex wiring.
Built to perform in extreme conditions, they are unaffected by vibration, temperature, or humidity — making them ideal for marine, oil & gas and power generation applications.
