Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions have to be able to operate in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each model of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted 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 current models follow the stringent legal environmental demands which are presently in the business. The engines provide low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to handle the tough and extreme working settings in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, 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 offers efficient braking to the unit. The system is practically maintenance free and is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
