Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the machine is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor 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 high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every unit 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.
Presently within the business, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved by 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 deal with the different working settings 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. In addition, 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 provides efficient braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and can cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
