Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is only 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 precise control. All of these functions should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every 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 power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are now within the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically attained by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the different 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. In addition, 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 provides effective braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
