Press article HEINZMANN (July, 2010)

Crank up your engine application with absolute reliability - anywhere at anytime!

Some engine applications require a safe or redundant and self-contain cranking system, either due to the importance of its operations, locations or environment situation.

Emergency power generators
Fire-fighting, cargo, irrigation pump applications
Compressor applications (pipelines)
Rescue vehicles and boats
Black start systems for marine and military applications
All kind of mobile or stationary applications operating in potential hazardous or explosive areas as off shore, mining,
chemical industries etc.
Remote located or seldom used applications
Cold temperature operation down to -40 °C

In cooperation with Longday HEINZMANN has developed hydraulic powered cranking systems, which are designed to provide under harshest environment instant and reliable high crank speed for fast and secured start up of engine applications.

Hydraulic cranking systems in comparison to electrical or air starting systems are unrivalled in the field of cranking up an engine application in regard of reliability, instant torque and durability in demanding environment. It provides much higher torque, which is cranking up the application even at low temperature as -40°C. Nor flat battery or down electrical system will affect the hydraulic cranking systems operation.

The system accumulator stores hydraulic power for a long period of time and can be released immediately at request to power the hydraulic cranking motor for start attempts. The hydraulic power itself comes from either a direct engine, or electrically or an air driven pump. For redundancy, each system is equipped in addition with a manual charging hand pump, which is simultaneously, the simplest system assembling.

The systems have a modular design to meet each customer‘s demands and are supplied fully assembled and tested. Furthermore, the hydraulic cranking motors can also be implemented into existing applications closed loop systems.

Due to the high user friendliness, reliability and economy of our cranking systems plus our worldwide service network we are a distinctive supplier in the market for hydraulic cranking systems.
