Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The equipment'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 places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is only 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 accurate control. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every 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 consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of existing units comply with the strict legal environmental demands which are presently in the business. The engines provide 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 exceptional and extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse 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 terminals and ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, 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 efficient braking to the model. The system is practically maintenance free and could deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
