Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions have to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of current units follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are presently within the industry. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working settings in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
All empty container handlers have wet disc brakes with oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. The disc brakes are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, when the brakes are engaged. This offers effective braking to the model. The system can deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
