Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The overall effectiveness of the machine is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor 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 precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions must be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every unit of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are now within the industry. The engines offer 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 integrated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained by solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working environments in ports and 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 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 offers effective braking to the model. The system can deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
