Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery 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 manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every unit of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models comply with the strict legal environmental demands which are now within the industry. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption 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 integrated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward 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 - 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 that 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 model. The system is basically maintenance free and can cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
