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 efficiency is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this puts 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted with 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.
Now within the business, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically attained by solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which 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 terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. In addition, 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, once the brakes are engaged. This provides effective braking to the model. The system could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
