Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is just 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum fashion, 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 specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Now in the industry, the engines of current units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved by solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the tough and extreme working settings in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. In addition, 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 that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub. The disc brakes are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal, when the brakes are engaged. This provides effective braking to the model. The system is able to cope 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.
