Kalmar Container Handlers Houston

Performance

The performance of the machine 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 machines working hydraulics undergo extreme lifting, that puts intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is only 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 accurate control and high pulling power. All of these functions should be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Each and every empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine equipped with an 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.



The engines of current models comply with the stringent legal environmental demands that are currently within the industry. The engines provide low noise and vibration levels, low exhaust emission 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 integrated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically achieved via solenoid valves. These offer 3 reverse and 3 forward 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 - differential and hub reduction. These features ensure a minimum of strain on the transmission system. Additionally, 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, when the brakes are engaged. This offers efficient braking to the unit. The system is basically maintenance free and could cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time. This particular system requires no need for brake adjustments and provides no fade.
