Engine Optimized Performance, Proven Reliability

Every Tier 4 Final and Stage V Cat engine with ACERT Technology is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components. The right technologies fine-tuned for the right applications result in: • High machine performance across a variety of applications. • Enhanced reliability through commonality and simplicity of design. • Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network. • Minimized impact of emission systems: designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction. • Durable designs with long life to...

Transmission Class Leading Transmission Technology The CX38B Cat High Density Power Shift (HDPS) nine-speed forward, two-speed reverse transmission, designed specifically for articulated trucks, features Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy (APECS) and Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) that deliver smooth gear changes with improved acceleration and higher productivity. • Speed hold/limiting function allows the machine speed to be limited in 1 km/h or 1 mph steps to conform to site speed restrictions. • Gearshifts are configured to maintain direct drive lock-up, and reduce...

Automatic Features Ease of Use, Improved Performance Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) Assisted Dumping System Proactive application of the inter- and cross-axle differential locks is ‘on-the-go’ and fully automatic. The operator does not have to think about when and where to engage either diff lock. Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling instant response in high rolling resistance conditions. Operation is seamless and smooth, eliminating wheel slip for maximum traction and therefore productivity. Clutches are automatically disengaged when ground conditions allow, maximizing...

Ease of Operation Designed for Operators, by Operators Control Layout The new cab is designed to make all aspects of machine operation as simple as possible for every operator. The controls and gauges are easy to read and straightforward to use, allowing the operator to focus on safe machine operation while maintaining productivity.

Combined Hoist/Transmission Lever Unique to Cat articulated trucks, the combined hoist/transmission lever provides easy, intuitive control of gears and hoist functions. The new assisted hoist system gives improved control to the operator, allowing for faster cycle times and less control movements. Offering both automatic and manual options, the system gives operators flexibility to choose their preferred method of control. When using the automatic system to tip a load, when flicking the switch to the ‘raise’ position, the machine neutralizes the transmission, applies the service brakes and hoists...

Operator Environment Improved Productivity with a Comfortable and Confident Operator Spacious Two-Person Cab The large open cab offers a comfortable working space for both the operator and an additional person (e.g. training purposes). The second seat is fully padded with a backrest and a wide, retractable seat belt for a secure and comfortable ride. Positioned adjacent to the operator, the forward facing seat gives the trainer a clear view of the instrument panel, controls and the road ahead. Increased and Improved Storage A new large side storage box is heated or cooled by the heating, ventilation,...

Suspension and Braking Performance with Comfort All three axles have oscillating A-frames with lateral tie rods, controlling sideways movement of the axle and providing stability. The suspension system allows the operator to travel at speed over rough terrain and softens impact loads on structures and components. Front Suspension All Axle Enclosed Wet Brakes Large bore, low-pressure cylinders are purpose designed for off-road applications and offer a soft, smooth ride for the operator. The front suspension oscillates ±6° to assist in providing a smooth ride. Suspension mounting points are integrated...

Durability and ReliabilityProven Structures and Components Front Frame The front frame design features a large box section and wide, stiff frame beams to handle torque loads. The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. The frame design makes maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability. Rear Frame Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life. Suspension The three-point oscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. It also protects the truck from adverse...
