Kalmar Container Handlers Sacramento

Performance

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



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 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 must be able to operate in an optimum fashion, even after heavy usage.



Engine

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



The engines of existing models comply with the strict legal environmental demands which are presently within the industry. The engines offer low vibration and noise levels, low exhaust emission levels, low fuel consumption characterize all engine options.



Transmission

All container handlers have been made with extremely 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 accomplished by solenoid valves. These provide 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 various working environments 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. 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, when the brakes are engaged. This offers effective braking to the model. The system is able to cope with heavy cargo over a long period of time and is practically maintenance free. This particular system provides no fade and requires no need for brake adjustments.
