Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The overall effectiveness of the machine is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component 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 should be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted 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.
Now within the business, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These provide 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 environments in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes which have oil cooled discs which 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 offers efficient braking to the unit. The system could cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
