Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the machine is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the equipment. 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 precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an 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.
Now in the business, the engines of current units comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and really 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 accomplished by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the tough and extreme working settings in terminals and in ports. 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
Wet Disc Brakes that have oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. Once 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 could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
