Kalmar Container Handlers Tucson

Performance

The performance of the machinery is the overall result of how well the machine functions and works together. The overall efficiency of the machine is determined by a combination of user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.



The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting factor is just 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 have to be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Each model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines that are outfitted with intercooler. The engines are adapted to the particular working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions consist of high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.



The engines of current models comply with the stringent legal environmental demands which are currently in the industry. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel use 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 by 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. 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 provides efficient braking to the model. The system can deal with heavy loads over a long period of time and is basically maintenance free. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
