Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just 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 high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions have to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models follow the strict legal environmental demands that are now within the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption 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 torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to deal with the extreme and tough working settings in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes that have oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. When 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 practically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
