Kalmar Container Handlers Austin

Performance

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



The working hydraulics and the engine undergo extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the machine. The lifting component is only a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the equipment being able to unload or load, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with high pulling process and precise control. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Each empty container handler is built 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 include high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.



The engines of existing models comply with the stringent legal environmental demands which are presently within the business. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.



Transmission

All container handlers have been made with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has included gearbox and torque converter. The gear changing is electrically attained via 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 deal with the extreme and tough working environments in terminals and in ports. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Furthermore, 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. Once the brakes are engaged, the discs are pressed together by hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal. This offers effective braking to the unit. The system can deal with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and offers no fade.
