Kineteco is THE leading manufacturer of hand wound, mechanical starter motors

History of Kineteco

Kineteco International Ltd is the product of over 50 years experience in the spring starter industry, and is the market leader in the field of mechanical spring starters for diesel engines. Since purchasing the Lucas starter business in 1996, the quality and reliability of the products has constantly been improved and remains second to none.

Kineteco has since developed radical new, lower cost spring starters incorporating improved materials to reduce cost and weight.

Recent developments include specialist spring starters for military applications and new ranges for both large and small engines.

Please see our applications guide for the wide variety of diesel engines we fit. If we do not already have a fitting for your engine we will endeavour to configure a spring starter to meet your exact starting requirements - reliability and longevity come as standard.
