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 working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions must be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every model of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are currently within the business. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved by 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 drive axles are engineered to deal with 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. 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 effective braking to the model. The system can cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
