Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the machine. The lifting factor is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions need to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every 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 include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Presently in the business, the engines of existing units comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. 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 environments in ports and terminals. 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
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, when the brakes are engaged. This provides efficient braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
