Product Overview
Commercial Diesel Vehicle Booster Cables are heavy-duty jumper cable assemblies for emergency battery starting on diesel trucks, commercial vans, buses and fleet vehicles.
The assembly consists of insulated cables and battery clamps. Selection is based on conductor gauge, cable length, current rating, insulation temperature rating and clamp construction. Available heavy-duty configurations include 1 GA, 2 GA and 4 GA conductors, with 20 ft, 25 ft and 30 ft lengths available for selected configurations.

Conductor Selection
1 GA
The 1 GA configuration uses a 38.1 mm² conductor area and is available in 20 ft, 25 ft and 30 ft versions. Current ratings are specified at 410 A, 380 A and 330 A respectively.
2 GA
The 2 GA construction provides a 31.1 mm² conductor area. It offers a smaller conductor size than 1 GA while remaining within the heavy-duty range used for commercial vehicle applications.
4 GA
The 4 GA configuration uses an 18.3 mm² conductor area. It provides a more compact cable construction for applications where the required starting specification permits a smaller conductor.
Cable Length Options
20 ft
The 20 ft configuration provides working distance around commercial vehicles while maintaining the current rating specified for the selected conductor.
25 ft
The 25 ft version provides additional reach for truck, bus and fleet applications where battery access requires greater cable length.
30 ft
The 30 ft configuration provides the longest working distance within the standard heavy-duty range. The 1 GA version is rated at 330 A at this length.
Length and conductor gauge should be specified together because cable length affects the rated current of the assembly.
Clamp Construction
Insulated Clamp
Insulated clamp designs provide a covered grip area for handling during battery connection and removal.
Heavy-Duty Clamp
Heavy-duty clamp constructions are available for larger commercial vehicle battery terminals and higher-current cable configurations.
Copper-Plated Contact
Copper-plated contact surfaces provide the conductive interface between the clamp and battery terminal. Clamp size and construction are matched to the selected cable configuration.
Insulation and Temperature Performance
PVC -25°C
PVC constructions rated to -25°C are available for applications operating within moderate cold-weather conditions.
PVC -42°C
Selected heavy-duty configurations use PVC insulation rated to -42°C for lower-temperature operating environments.
Cable Construction
The insulation specification is defined together with conductor size and cable diameter. Current product constructions include cable diameters from 9.0 mm to 12.0 mm across selected gauge configurations.
Commercial Vehicle Applications
Diesel Trucks
1 GA and 2 GA configurations provide heavy-duty cable options for truck battery starting applications where larger conductor sizes are required.
Commercial Vans
4 GA and 2 GA configurations can be selected according to the vehicle battery system, cable length and required current rating.
Buses
Longer cable configurations provide additional working distance around larger vehicle battery compartments.
Fleet Service Vehicles
The assemblies suit emergency starting kits and vehicle service equipment where cable length, storage and repeat handling are part of the product specification.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Conductor Inspection
Conductor gauge, strand construction and material are checked against the approved specification before cable assembly.
Cable Processing
Cable cutting, insulation stripping and clamp assembly follow the defined product configuration. Cable length and finished diameter are checked during production.
Clamp Assembly
Clamp type, contact construction and insulation condition are inspected before finished-product release.
Quality Systems
Production operates under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 management systems. Applicable product configurations are supported by market-specific compliance documentation.
OEM and Procurement Options
Cable Specification
Gauge, cable length, conductor construction, insulation temperature rating and clamp type are defined according to the required product configuration.
Packaging
Packaging specifications may include cable quantity, product labeling, carton dimensions and retail or bulk packing format.
Documentation
Product specifications, inspection records, packaging information and applicable compliance documents can be prepared for purchasing review.
For quotation, provide the required gauge, cable length, current rating, insulation temperature rating, clamp type, destination market and packaging format.
