Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is only 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions have to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every model of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Now in the industry, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which 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 terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. 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 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 efficient braking to the model. The system is able to cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
