Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machine. The machine's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that places intense demands on the equipment. 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 need to be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and 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 particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
The engines of current models follow the stringent legal environmental demands that are currently within the industry. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent 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 attained via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever that is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to deal with the tough and extreme working settings in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. These features guarantee 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, when the brakes are engaged. This offers effective braking to the model. The system is basically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
