Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the machine is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is just 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 high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each 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 specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Currently in the industry, the engines of current units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with exceptional and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically attained via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working settings in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. In addition, 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, once the brakes are engaged. This provides effective braking to the model. The system could cope 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.
