Kalmar Container Handlers El Paso

Performance

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



The engine and the working hydraulics 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 machine being able to load or unload, the demands are placed on effective brakes, tight turning radius with accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to work in an optimum manner, 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 consist of high torque levels and high power at low engine speeds.



Currently within the business, the engines of existing units comply with the stringent legal environment demands. The engines provide low exhaust emission levels, low vibration and noise levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine alternatives.



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 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 deal with the extreme and tough working settings in ports and in terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - differential and hub reduction. 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

Wet Disc Brakes that 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 provides efficient braking to the unit. The system is practically maintenance free and can deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
