Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The overall efficiency of the machinery is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machine. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery 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 need to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Presently in the business, the engines of current units comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide 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 equipped with exceptional and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working environments in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Additionally, 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 effective braking to the model. The system is practically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
