Performance
The overall result of how well the equipment's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The equipment's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.
The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions need to be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each unit of empty container handlers are equipped 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 comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Presently within the industry, the engines of existing models comply with the strict legal environment demands. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.
Transmission
All container handlers have been built 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 achieved via solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the various working settings 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, once the brakes are engaged. This offers efficient braking to the model. The system is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
