Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor 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 high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions should be able to operate 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 equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Currently within the industry, the engines of existing models follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission 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 attained by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the tough and extreme working settings in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. 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 which have oil cooled discs which 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 unit. The system is basically maintenance free and is able to deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
