Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 have to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every unit of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Presently within the industry, the engines of current models comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
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 integrated 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 an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the extreme and tough working environments in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features ensure 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 efficient braking to the model. The system could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
