Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, user-friendliness and capacity.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery 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 fashion, 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 particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
Currently in the industry, the engines of existing models comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low noise and vibration 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 gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the various working environments in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features ensure 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 offers effective braking to the unit. The system could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
