Spring starters
Simple, mechanical, and built for total independence, for engines up to 12 litres.
Powerstart’s SureStart spring starter motors are a reliable and cost-effective way of providing manual starting for diesel engines. Coming in six different model sizes, they deliver reliability through simplicity.
To start an engine you simply wind the handle to energize the spring. When the trip lever is pushed the starter motor turns the engine. It is that simple.
Surestart spring starters are perfect for harsh environments and hazardous areas such as offshore and marine applications as they are unaffected by damp conditions. Because they are pre-engaged, SureStart spring starters are also ATEX compliant.
