Jump start boosters tackle engines up to 2000kW

— filed under: ,

Mining strength jump start boosters are now available with the Australian release of US made SOS boosters.

  

SOS make a range of jump starters, but the two largest capacity units are dual 12/24 volts and develop 3200/1600 or 6400/3200 cold cranking amps or CAs. They have the power to deliver 15,550 peak amps.
SOS says they start where other jump start cable makers finish, by having the most powerful on the market. They are suitable for engines developing up to 2000kW.
Top-of-the-range models boast fuse protection, a warning buzzer for polarity inversions, a voltmeter and a voltage selector. Additionally, SOS units are equipped with the toughest clamps in the industry being made from colour coded, heavy-duty bronze and have special wide opening jaws with braided copper straps.
Pro Quip which sells them here, is the only company to provide the unique male Caterpillar connectors to plug into the external sockets on many Cat machines.
Certified by NATO, the enhanced jump start cables have a global reputation for starting everything from trucks to battle tanks. The popular 12V model is most frequently used on equipment such as 360kW John Deere diesels which it can start without batteries. The bigger 24V unit is in regular use on everything from trucks to trains.
