Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the equipment. 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 precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions must be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is built 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 comprise high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Now in the business, the engines of existing units comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide 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 outfitted with exceptional and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to deal with the tough and extreme working environments in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure 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 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 provides effective braking to the unit. The system could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
