FW24-START52 --- 24V Portable Starter Packs

  • Product Description

    Hand-portable GPUs cannot be excessively large or heavy. Situations exist where additional amp/hr capacity and performance is required while retaining the essential benefit of 'portability'. The solution is to connect two units in parallel. The START52 (twin) comprises two START26 units connected by heavy-duty parallel lead (yoke) doubling the capacity from 26 to 52 Ah.

    Designed for turbine starting on large helicopters and corporate jets, the START52 (twin) is easy to use and transport by air. Individual GPU weight is low and packs can be easily stowed on board a vehicle or aircraft. The GPUs are cleared for air transportation with their safety locking isolator.

    Repeatedly proven in combat zones and favored by Special Forces helicopter units since its introduction in 1995, thousands of these units are in use worldwide. With more than 130 sets with the Republic of Korea army, 50 sets with French forces and multiple sets with other military and civil operators, the START26 and START52 are probably the most popular and well-proven medium-size portable GPUs in the world.
