Loading and linking

The new Caterpillar 938H wheel loader and IT38H with integrated tool-carrier linkage feature the Cat C6.6 engine with ACERT technology for responsive power and low emissions. The new engine, a differential lock system, load-sensing hydraulics and increased lift and tilt forces deliver high performance in digging and material-handling applications while limiting engine emissions to meet Tier III off-highway emissions regulations.
The 938H and IT38H have a new axle with standard front differential lock or an optional, automatic differential lock for both front and rear. The differential lock replaces limited slip and offers the advantage of reduced fuel consumption and less heat generated in the axle while delivering improved traction and reduced tire wear.
The 938H retains the traditional Z-Bar linkage for excellent bucket loading and optimum durability in digging applications. The IT38H features integrated tool carrier linkage, which is designed for expanded versatility. It has parallel lift for pallet fork use and other material-handling tasks and is ideally suited for applications where different jobs are performed with one machine using a variety of work tools.
