Kalmar Container Handlers Houston

Performance

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



The engine and the working hydraulics go through extreme lifting and this places intense demands on the machinery. The lifting component is just a part of the operating cycle. Prior to the machine 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 manner, even after heavy usage.



Engine

Each empty container handler is made with a straight six cylinder turbo charged engine outfitted with an intercooler. The engines are adapted to the specific working conditions of empty container handling. These conditions comprise high power and high torque levels at low engine speeds.



Currently in the industry, the engines of existing models follow the stringent legal environment demands. The engines offer low exhaust emission levels, low noise and vibration levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.



Transmission

All container handlers have been built with really durable hydrodynamic transmission systems. For fast acceleration with a minimum of "clutch-slip" the transmission has incorporated torque converter and gearbox. The gear changing is electrically accomplished by solenoid valves. These offer 3 forward and 3 reverse gears which are controlled by means of an easily operated multifunction lever.



Drive Axle

The rugged drive axles have engineered to handle the different working settings in ports and terminals. All axles have reduction in 2 stages - hub reduction and differential. These features guarantee 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 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 provides effective braking to the model. The system is basically 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.
