The Lightest, Most Reliable Starters For Mine Haul Trucks
For mine haul trucks, your needs are simple. Reliable starting. No maintenance. No replacing starters every 6 months. TDI TurboTwin™ Air Starters are the mining industry's standard for long-lasting reliability. Ask the mechanics who install them and you'll find that no other starter lasts as long, delivers more starts, and withstands the harshest environments better than TurboTwin™.
Lightweight starters simplify installation. TDI's lightest starter for mine haul trucks weighs only 34 lbs. TDI understands the difficulty of overhead installation and designed its starters to be a one-person job.
No Plastic Parts. TDI's starters are engineered for the long haul - no plastic parts like lesser-grade starters.
More Power From TurboTwins™. Expect up to 25% more staring power from TurboTwin™, even in sub-zero weather or sweltering heat.
Less Mess. No added lubrication required.
Longer lasting air supply. TurboTwin™ offers the most power and torque per unit of air. On a truck with a limited air supply, TurboTwin™ gets your truck started fast….with air to spare.
The quietest turbine air starter. In independent tests, the TurboTwin™ T50 has achieved sound levels thought to be unattainable from a turbine starter. So the lightest starter is also the quietest.
Install It. Forget About It. The industry's longest-lasting starter uses better-quality parts, a superior design tolerant to contaminants, and delivers maintenance-free service. It's that simple.
