In demanding industrial environments, reliable engine starting is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re working with mining equipment, offshore rigs, or transport vehicles, power start systems are the backbone of consistent operations. At MultiTorque, we understand the critical role these systems play in ensuring safety, uptime, and productivity.

From remote locations in the Pilbara to high-output processing facilities across Queensland, we supply, service, and support power start units tailored for Australia’s harshest conditions.

What Is a Power Start System?

A power start system is a type of engine starting solution designed to initiate large diesel or gas-powered engines where electric starts are unreliable or unsafe. Unlike traditional electric starters, power start systems utilise compressed air, gas, or hydraulic energy to crank the engine efficiently — even in sub-zero or high-dust environments.

They’re widely used in:

• Mining and drilling rigs

• Offshore oil & gas platforms

• Marine and military applications

• Heavy transport and earthmoving equipment

If your operation can’t afford downtime, a properly installed power start system is the insurance policy your engine needs.

Benefits of Power Start Systems

Power start systems offer significant advantages over electric starters in heavy-duty settings:

• No dependency on batteries: Especially useful in remote or freezing conditions.

• Reduced maintenance: Air and gas systems have fewer moving parts than electric alternatives.

• Consistent cranking power: Ideal for high-compression engines or multiple restart cycles.

• Explosion-proof designs: Suitable for hazardous zones where safety is critical.

If you’re operating in a hazardous or off-grid environment, switching to a robust power start system can dramatically improve uptime and safety.
