Performance
The performance of the machine 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 visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this places 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions need to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units comply with the strict legal environmental demands which are presently within the business. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and 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 which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that 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. Additionally, 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 offers efficient braking to the unit. The system can deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
