Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the equipment. 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions need to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are equipped with 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.
Currently within the business, the engines of existing models comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to deal with the extreme and tough working environments 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. Furthermore, 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. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This provides effective braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and can cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
