Heavy Duty Mobile Jump Starters, Built Since 1918
Durst has been designing and manufacturing power equipment in Australia since 1918, and that history shows in every jump starter we build. Our high capacity range is strong and reliable for bus fleets, trucks, mining operations and any heavy vehicle or machine that can't afford downtime.
Durst jump starters are used repeatedly and withstand punishment under the most trying of circumstances. These are the highest capacity units available on the market, engineered to start large diesel and petrol engines with dead flat batteries, then keep working shift after shift without needing a long recharge in between.
Who Relies on High Capacity Jump Starters?
Fleet and industrial operators across Australia choose this range because downtime costs money and, in some industries, safety. Our customers include:
- Truck dealers and workshops
- TAFE colleges and training organisations
- Government and private bus fleets
- Local councils and other government departments
- Transport companies
- Mining and earthmoving companies
- Military, defence and aviation operators
If we don't have a jump starter off the shelf to suit your application, we'll build one to your specification.
What Makes a Jump Starter "High Capacity"?
A high capacity jump starter delivers enough sustained cranking power to start large diesel and petrol engines, such as trucks, buses, mining equipment and defence vehicles, repeatedly and without a long recharge between starts. Standard consumer jump starters aren't built for this kind of continuous industrial use.
Choosing the Right Model
Our high capacity range covers three main use cases:
DURST HYPASTART HYPA-X4500MS - the maximum output option in the range, suited to trucks, defence applications and mining sites where you need the highest available cranking power.
DURST BJT-200-V3 - a heavy duty 12/24V unit built for mining, transport and workshop environments, offering strong output at a lower entry price than the HYPASTART.
DURST T-Rex GPU Cart - a mobile trolley-mounted jump start and ground power unit for defence, mining and transport operations that need to move the unit between vehicles or aircraft on site.
Whether it's the BJT-200-V3 for heavy duty applications, the HYPASTART HYPA-X4500MS for maximum output, or the T-Rex GPU Cart for mobile trolley use, you'll get real grunt from real jump starters at a value for money price. That's the Durst way of doing things.

Why It Matters for Fleet Uptime
A vehicle or piece of machinery that won't start is lost productivity, and in mining, transport and defence settings it can also be a safety issue if it happens in the wrong location. A high capacity jump starter kept on site or in a service vehicle means a flat battery is a five-minute fix instead of a call-out. That's why fleet workshops and government bodies across Australia keep one of these units on hand rather than relying on jumper leads and a second vehicle.
