Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The overall efficiency of the equipment 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 machine. The lifting factor is only 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 operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each 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 comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Now in the industry, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer 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 excellent and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to deal with the extreme and tough 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
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 effective braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
