Performance
The overall result of how well the machine's functions work together is categorized by the performance of the machinery. The machine's overall efficiency is determined by a combination of capacity, user-friendliness, lifting speed and visibility.
The engine and the machinery working hydraulics go through extreme lifting, which puts intense demands on the machine. The lifting factor is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 manner, even after heavy usage.
Engine
Each and every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an 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.
Now in the industry, the engines of existing models comply with the stringent legal environment demands. 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 built with 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 accomplished by solenoid valves. These provide 3 reverse and 3 forward gears which are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to handle 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
All empty container handlers have wet disc brakes with oil cooled discs that 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 can deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
