When it comes to heavy-duty machinery, vehicles, and industrial equipment, reliable starts aren’t optional—they’re essential. That’s where a high-quality starter engine comes into play. Whether you’re running mining vehicles, gas compressors, or large diesel engines, your starter engine is the first piece of the puzzle that brings power to life. At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support a wide range of starter engine options to keep Australian industries moving.

What is a Starter Engine?

A starter engine is a device used to initiate the operation of an internal combustion engine. It delivers the torque necessary to turn the engine’s crankshaft until the engine itself can sustain operation. Starter engines can be powered electrically, pneumatically (air starters), or hydraulically, depending on the system requirements and operating conditions.

In high-demand industries like mining, oil and gas, marine, and heavy transport, choosing the right starter engine is critical for safety, uptime, and cost-efficiency.

Types of Starter Engines

At MultiTorque, we support a variety of starter engine configurations, including:

1. Air Starters

Ideal for environments where electrical systems may be hazardous, air starters use compressed air to generate rotation. These are common in the oil and gas industry, offering a safe and powerful starting solution.

We supply top-tier air starters, including trusted brands like Ingersoll Rand, Gali, and Power Start, each known for durability and field-tested performance.

2. Electric Starters

Best suited for smaller engines or systems where reliable electrical supply is available, electric starters are compact and easy to integrate. These are widely used in automotive, agricultural, and small industrial applications.

3. Hydraulic Starters

These provide high torque in extreme environments and are excellent for remote or mobile installations. Hydraulic starter engines are common in offshore rigs and marine operations.
