New & Remanufactured Units
Choose from our inventory of brand-new air starters for peak performance and warranty assurance, or opt for remanufactured units that meet rigorous quality standards at a reduced cost. Our reman starters undergo thorough inspection, cleaning, parts replacement, and testing to perform like new. Every unit—new or reman—is built to deliver long-lasting, dependable service in the most demanding environments.
Direct Replacements & Conversions
Whether you’re replacing a worn-out starter or upgrading an outdated system, we offer direct replacement air starters that bolt on without modification, and conversion kits to transition from electric to air start systems or adapt to newer engine configurations. We simplify retrofits and rebuilds with parts and guidance designed to make integration seamless and efficient.
On-Demand Shipping & Technical Support
We understand that downtime is costly. That’s why we offer on-demand shipping with same-day processing available for most in-stock air starters and parts. Our knowledgeable technical support team is ready to assist with installation questions, cross-referencing part numbers, or helping you select the correct unit for your EMD engine. We don’t just ship products—we support your success from start to finish.
