Performance
The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machinery functions and works together. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, visibility and lifting speed.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment 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 have to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are equipped 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 units comply with the stringent legal environmental demands that are currently within the business. The engines offer low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
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 incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained via solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that 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 environments in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Moreover, 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. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This offers effective braking to the model. The system is practically maintenance free and could cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This system offers no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
