Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The overall efficiency of the machinery is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum manner, 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 specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.
The engines of current units comply with the strict legal environmental demands that are now in the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with excellent and extremely 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 provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to handle the tough and extreme working environments 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, once the brakes are engaged. This provides effective braking to the model. The system could cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
