Mechanical Spring Starters
The Spring Starter has been in use for over 30 years; there are over 30,000 mechanical starters in service Worldwide.
Spring Starters are mechanical starters that use energy stored in a high-tech spring pack which is manually wound up and charged for instant release when required to start an engine. A Spring Starter is equivalent to a 5 hp electric starter.
The need for batteries, alternators, regulators and wiring is eliminated as the Spring Starter does not require electricity, compressed air or hydraulic pressure to operate. In the event that electrical power is required, a conversion kit is available to add to an existing alternator or a self exciting alternator can be used.
Spring Starters are used in many industrial, marine and agricultural applications especially in remote and hazardous locations (Llyod's Register Approved for hazardous locations).
The smallest size in the Spring Starter range, the Mini, is capable of starting engines up to 2.0 litres with a maximum of four cylinders.
The second size up in the Spring Starter range, the Midi, is capable of starting engines up to 6.6 litres with a maximum of six cylinders.
