Performance
The performance of the equipment is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the equipment is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the equipment working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are equipped with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of current models follow the strict legal environmental demands that are currently in the industry. 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 extremely 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 accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to handle the tough and extreme working environments 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. Furthermore, 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 is practically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
