Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the equipment. The overall effectiveness of the machinery is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the equipment. 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 accurate control. All of these functions must be able to work in an optimum fashion, 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 particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Currently in the business, the engines of current units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. 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 really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the tough and extreme working settings in ports and in terminals. 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
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, when the brakes are engaged. This provides efficient braking to the model. The system could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
