Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of lifting speed, visibility, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the equipment. 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 high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
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 comprise high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units comply with the strict legal environmental demands that are presently within the industry. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel use characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For quick acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained by solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to deal with the extreme and tough working settings in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Additionally, the drive axles are fitted with a hydraulic braking system.
Service Brake System
Wet Disc Brakes that have oil cooled discs that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This offers efficient braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and is able to deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
