EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT: MEET THE NEW HYUNDAI HT38 COMPACT TRACK LOADER
Hyundai Construction Equipment is expanding its compact track loader lineup with the release of the HT38—a new vertical-lift compact loader that brings power, precision, and operator comfort to tight job sites across North America.
Following the success of the HT100V, the HT38 is designed to fill the gap between mid-sized versatility and big-machine performance, offering a more compact alternative while still packing plenty of punch.
Compact Power Perfected: Introducing the Hyundai HT38
One of the most powerful machines in its class, the HT38V gives you more lifting capacity and pushing power. The Hyundai engine, which is also found in our dozers, is crucial for minimizing downtime, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent performance in demanding work conditions.
Meet the Hyundai HT38
Engineered for heavy-duty performance in a smaller footprint, the HT38 adds even more versatility to Hyundai’s growing compact loader lineup. With its vertical-lift path, powerful engine, and operator-first design, it’s ideal for professionals in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and snow removal.
Specs Overview:
- Rated Operating Capacity: 3,800 lbs
- Engine: Yanmar 4TNV98CT – 74 HP
- Operating Weight: Approx. 10,400 lbs
- Peak Torque: 221 lb-ft @ 1,360 RPM
- Lift Path: Vertical
- Auxiliary Hydraulics: High-flow capable
Performance Where You Need It Most
The vertical-lift arm design offers exceptional lift height and reach—ideal for loading trucks, lifting materials, and working in confined spaces. It’s especially useful when cycle times and operator precision are critical.
The 74-horsepower Yanmar engine delivers smooth power delivery and high torque at low RPMs, making it perfect for handling challenging ground conditions, heavier attachments, and rugged terrain.
Built for Operator Comfort & Safety
The HT38 features one of the most operator-friendly cabs in its class:
Wide field of view, even with arms raised
7″ color touchscreen monitor with integrated machine diagnostics
Heated air-ride seat
Bluetooth + hands-free calling
Ergonomic joystick controls
This loader is built for long workdays in all conditions, whether you’re plowing snow, spreading mulch, or loading gravel.
Smart Tech That Works
Just like its larger sibling, the HT100V, the new HT38 includes advanced telematics and machine control options, including:
Smart Key + Push Start
HiMATE Remote Management System (standard 5-year subscription)
Customizable operator profiles and onboard diagnostics
These features help business owners and fleet managers keep an eye on usage, machine health, and maintenance schedules—reducing downtime and improving ROI.
Ready for Attachments
Thanks to its universal coupler system and high-flow hydraulics, the HT38 supports a wide range of attachments:
It’s a true all-season machine, ready to pivot from summer site work to winter maintenance with ease.
Why the HT38 Complements the HT100V
The HT100V remains Hyundai’s larger-frame option for those needing higher ROC and additional horsepower, while the HT38 offers a more compact footprint for jobs where maneuverability is key. Together, they allow contractors to build a complete fleet of Hyundai compact loaders with tiered options to match the job size.
