In heavy-duty environments, a flat battery isn't just an inconvenience — you are losing money. Running prime movers, buses, or larger industrial machinery — even in tough mining environments — means you need equipment you can trust. That’s why Projecta’s Intelli-Start industrial lithium jump starters — IS3000, IS5000, and the all-new IS5000HD — are built to keep you moving.

2. 2. Automatic Voltage Detection
   Seamlessly detects 12V or 24V systems and adjusts accordingly — eliminating guesswork and user error.

What Makes the new IS5000HD the Ultimate Worksite Solution?

The IS5000HD goes that one step further. The same output and proven reliability of its namesake the IS5000, however with the inclusion of interchangeable cables.

Interchangeable Cable System

Switch between supplied clamps, CAT Plug Adaptor, or 350A Heavy Duty Connector Adaptor without sacrificing safety. Adaptors are sold separately. Thanks to 4.8 metres of combined cable length, you can keep the unit on the ground and still easily reach the battery you need to jump start.

User Cases: Built for What You Do

These units aren’t just “powerful” — they’re practical. Designed around real-life jobsite needs.

For Fleets & Transport

Start everything from buses and prime movers to delivery vehicles — fast, reliable, and scalable across depots.

For Mining & Construction

Get unlimited starts with the IS5000 and IS5000HD. It’s ideal for 24V graders, excavators, cranes, and mining vehicles. No need to bring in a second vehicle or carry massive boosters.

For Workshops & Auto Trade

For Workshop and Auto trade, you might need something smaller than the Industrial Heavy Jump starters. Check out the Professional Range, perfect for Workshops, or the compact and portable Emergency Range, perfect to keep in your car or 4WD.

Rapid Recharge Technology®: Always Ready

After every jump start, simply leave the clamps connected for 40 seconds — the unit recharges itself automatically. No manual charging, no delays.
