Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just 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 have to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Currently within the industry, the engines of current units comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with 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 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 deal with the various working settings in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. 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 which 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 effective braking to the model. The system could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
