Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The overall effectiveness of the machine is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is just 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 need to be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are outfitted 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 consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing models follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are now within the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped 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 provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the extreme and tough working settings in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. In addition, 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 efficient braking to the model. The system is able to deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
