Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just 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 high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is made 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 within the business, the engines of existing units follow the stringent legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained 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 drive axles are designed to handle the extreme and tough working environments in ports and in terminals. 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
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 efficient braking to the unit. The system can deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
