Prestolite Handraulic Starter System can typically be found in ship’s emergency generator sets, lifeboat engines or hydraulic and fire pump engines on offshore platforms. They can be used with diesel engines ranging from approximately 1.5 litre capacity and 2 or 3 cylinders up to V12 engines with a 27litre capacity and can be used irrespectively of the number of the engine’s cylinders.
The starter systems come in two sizes: B35G8 & B50G53 that can be fitted on engines of 70 to 160mm bore diameter. The starter drives the engine crankshaft via an adaptor mounted to the crank pulley. This makes the system ideal for engines that require a second starting system but lack a second starter pocket. Prestolite Handraulic Starter Systems work with a wide range of diesel engines from all major manufacturers such as Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, Mercedes, Mitsubishi and more.
