Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The overall effectiveness of the equipment is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is just 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 should be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and 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 strict legal environmental demands that are presently 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 built with extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working settings 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. Additionally, 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. 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 loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
