Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of current units follow the strict legal environmental demands which are currently within the business. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished 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 drive axles are engineered to handle the extreme and tough working settings in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
All empty container handlers have wet disc brakes with oil cooled discs which are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. The disc brakes are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, once the brakes are engaged. This provides efficient braking to the model. The system could cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
