Performance
The performance of the machine is the overall result of how well the equipment functions and works together. The equipment's overall effectiveness is determined by a combination of visibility, lifting speed, capacity and user-friendliness.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is only 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 high pulling process and accurate control. All of these functions must be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every unit of empty container handlers are equipped with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.
Now within the industry, the engines of existing units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.
Transmission
All container handlers have been made with extremely durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically accomplished via solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are engineered to deal with the tough and extreme working settings in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee 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 that are alternately fixed to and rotating with the hub equip all empty container handlers. When the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This provides effective braking to the unit. The system could cope with heavy loads over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
