Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component 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 should be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are now within the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically attained via solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the different working environments in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, 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 which are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. The disc brakes are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, once the brakes are engaged. This provides efficient braking to the model. The system can deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
