Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the machinery is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, user-friendliness and capacity.
The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions have to be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environmental demands that are presently in the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to handle the extreme and tough working environments in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes that have oil cooled discs which are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This offers effective braking to the model. The system is able to cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
