Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every model of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with 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.
Now within the business, the engines of current models comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All container handlers have been built with extremely 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 achieved via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the different working settings in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure 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 that 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 offers effective braking to the unit. The system is able to deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
