Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor 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 accurate control. All of these functions have to be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is built 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 torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environmental demands that are currently within the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and 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 achieved by solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the different working environments in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes which 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 offers effective braking to the model. The system is practically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
