Kalmar Container Handlers Arlington

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 user-friendliness, capacity, visibility and lifting speed.



The working hydraulics and the engine go through extreme lifting and this puts intense demands on the equipment. The lifting factor 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 precise control and high pulling power. All of these functions have to be able to work in an optimum manner, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Every 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 include high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.



Now in the business, the engines of existing units follow the strict legal environment demands. The engines provide low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption 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 integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.



Drive Axle

The rugged drive axles have engineered to deal with the various working environments in ports and terminals. 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

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 effective braking to the unit. The system is basically maintenance free and could deal with heavy loads over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
