Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions must be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Every empty container handler is made 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 consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Now within the industry, the engines of existing models follow the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the different working environments in terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features ensure 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 which are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. When the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This offers efficient braking to the unit. The system is basically maintenance free and could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
