Overview

The HZM 938 is a 10-ton, 3-ton-rated wheel loader with a 1.7 m³ bucket, Cummins 6BT5.9 power and 138 kN breakout force, built for quarries, crushers and heavy bulk handling.

A true production loader

The HZM 938 steps into heavy work. Its 10 000 kg operating weight, 3 000 kg rated load and 1.7 m³ bucket are backed by a 138 kN maximum breakout force, the figure that decides how easily a loader tears into compacted gravel or blasted rock.

Drivetrain built for the shift

  • Engine: Cummins 6BT5.9-C130, six-cylinder, direct injection, 97 kW (130 hp) at 2 400 rpm
  • Transmission: BS428 single-stage torque converter with axial full power shift, 4 forward and 2 reverse gears
  • Steering: articulated hydraulic, 36.5° each way
  • Brakes: air brakes with boosters
  • Cooling: dual cooling system
  • Tyres: 17.5-25
