Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor is only 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 precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are currently within the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
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 included torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the various working environments in terminals and 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 that have oil cooled discs which are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This provides effective braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
