easy diesel hand starting

Kineteco is the leading manufacturer of hand wound, mechanical starter motors. These replace the electric starter motor and allow a diesel engine to be started easily and safely by hand, without a battery or alternator. Just wind the starter's spring steadily and easily; when this is tripped the engine is turned over fast enough to start.

Our Spring Starters are used all over the world in many applications including ships' lifeboats, irrigation pumps, black start generators, mining vehicles and fire pumps to name but a few. We offer a unique choice of starters: from the traditional Lucas/CAV/Simms models to modern lightweight, low cost Penthams for smaller engines and large, rugged steel units that can be relied on to fire up big diesels.
