When you’re operating a heavy-duty Mack truck in demanding conditions, you need a starting system you can trust. That’s where air starters come into play—especially for diesel-powered rigs operating in mining, oil & gas, and remote haulage. At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support air start systems for Mack trucks, delivering tough, reliable performance when it counts.

If your Mack is running an air starter—or you’re considering converting from electric—MultiTorque is your go-to solution for parts, installation, and expert advice.

What Is an Air Start System?

An air start system uses compressed air to spin the engine and initiate combustion, instead of relying on an electric starter motor. It’s commonly used in applications where:

Battery-powered electric starters are impractical
High torque is required to crank large diesel engines
Safety or environmental factors make air systems preferable
Reliability in extreme temperatures or remote areas is critical

For a Mack truck operating in heavy haulage, mining, or oilfields, an air starter provides robust performance and is easier to maintain in rugged environments.

Why Use an Air Starter in a Mack Truck?

Air starters are ideal for large-capacity diesel engines like those found in Mack trucks. They provide:

Instant high torque output – No need to rely on heavy-duty batteries
Durability in extreme climates – Performs well in cold, dusty, or hot environments
Lighter system weight – Especially helpful for mining and off-road applications
Reduced risk of electrical failure – No electrical arcs or sparks

Whether you’re running a Granite, Super-Liner, or a custom-configured Mack, air starters can improve reliability in the toughest jobs.
