Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that 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 manner, 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 specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Now in the industry, the engines of current units follow the stringent legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are equipped with excellent and extremely 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 attained by solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the various working environments in ports and 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 which 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 offers efficient braking to the model. The system is practically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
