Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The overall efficiency of the machinery is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is built with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of current models follow the strict legal environmental demands which are now within the business. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated torque converter and gearbox. 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 various working settings in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, 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, once the brakes are engaged. This provides efficient braking to the model. The system can cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
