Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every unit of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Currently in the business, the engines of current units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the extreme and tough working environments in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Additionally, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes which have oil cooled discs that 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 provides effective braking to the model. The system can cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
