Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery 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 must be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is made 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 torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Presently in the business, the engines of current units follow the stringent legal environment demands. The engines provide low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and extremely 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 via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which 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 - 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
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 effective braking to the unit. The system is basically maintenance free and is able to deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
