HD Hyundai Construction Equipment rolls out new HT38 CTL

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is hosting the North American debut of its feature-packed HT38 compact track loader at booth K345 at The Utility Expo from Tuesday to Thursday in Louisville.

The HT38 CTL is powered by a Hyundai engine that provides 115 gross horsepower (86 kW) and has a rated operating capacity of 3,807 pounds (1,727 kg). It can lift a 0.8-yd3 (0.64-m3) standard bucket to a pin height of 10 ft. 9 in (3,280 mm). Operating weight is 12,785 pounds (5,799 kg).

“The HT38 is an all-new CTL design for Hyundai that delivers the power, lifting capacity, options and attachments that utility, paving, landscaping, concrete contractors and others are looking for in a large-frame compact track loader,” says Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment NA. “The number and value of the features that come standard on the HT38 really set this machine apart.”

Standard productivity-enhancing features on the HT38 include high flow at 4,000 psi (276 bar) and 40 gpm (151 l/pm), ride control, creep control, hydraulic quick coupler, return-to-dig, lift-arm float and auto-self-leveling. Also standard are several features that contribute to operator comfort, including the one-piece, pressurized ROPS/FOPS cab with heat and A/C coming through eight vents. The heated, air-ride seat is also standard, as well as Bluetooth and the 8-inch smart touch display.

The HT38 accommodates dozens of attachments, including a variety of buckets, brooms, grapples, brush cutters, augers, rakes, forks, and snow blowers and pushers.

The new Hyundai CTL features ground access to all daily service and routine maintenance points. A reversible fan and PowerCore air filter help keep the engine free of dust and debris, while a tilt-up cooling module enables easier cleaning of the cooling system to maximize airflow.

“These features ensure the Hyundai HT38 will keep running longer, with minimal downtime, and Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour warranty adds even more peace of mind,” Vargas says.
