Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to unload or load, 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 operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with 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.
The engines of existing models comply with the strict legal environmental demands which are now within the industry. 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 exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained 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 environments in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee 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 provides efficient braking to the unit. The system is able to deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
