Handheld Starters

Handheld starters are commonly used for programs where it is not necessary to have an onboard starter. They are powered by an external DC power source such as batteries or a start cart. 12V and 24V configurations are available.

In addition to the sizes shown, Sullivan can custom fabricate larger or smaller sizes. We can also machine special adapters, clutch drives or gear reductions.

Starter Boxes

An external starting box is used to crank an engine fitting with a Sullivan Starter-Alternator without carrying onboard starting batteries. This can save significant weight in the vehicle, as well as allow for safe and reliable starting.
