Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the equipment is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment 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 operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are equipped with 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 within the business, the engines of existing models comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with exceptional and really 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 via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to deal with the extreme and tough working settings 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. Moreover, 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. When 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 is able to deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
