Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 must be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each model of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models follow the strict legal environmental demands which are currently within the industry. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained via solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to deal with the tough and extreme working settings 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. Additionally, 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 efficient braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
