Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery being able to unload or load, 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
Every model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted with 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.
The engines of current units comply with the strict legal environmental demands that are presently within the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with exceptional 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 achieved via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to handle 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
Wet Disc Brakes which have oil cooled discs that 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 provides efficient braking to the unit. The system is able to deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
