Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machine. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 should be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of current units follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are currently within the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
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 accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that 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 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 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 offers efficient braking to the model. The system could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
