Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment 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 working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor 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 precise control. All of these functions must 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 equipped with an 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 current units follow the stringent legal environmental demands that are now within the business. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and 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 attained by solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to deal with the tough and extreme working environments in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. In addition, 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 unit. The system is practically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
