Kalmar Container Handlers Eugene

Performance

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



The engine and the machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that places intense demands on the machine. The lifting factor is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machinery 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 must be able to work in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Every model of empty container handlers are outfitted with straight six cylinder turbo charged engines which are outfitted with 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.



The engines of current models follow the strict legal environmental demands that are presently within the industry. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel use characterize all engine options.



Transmission

All of the trucks in the series are outfitted with exceptional and 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 by solenoid valves. These provide 3 forward and 3 reverse gears that are controlled by means of a multifunction lever which is easily operated.



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. In addition, 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, when the brakes are engaged. This offers effective 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 provides no fade.
