MACHINE FEATURES

Zero Tail Swing

The HS38 has an 860 mm tail swing radius within the 1,720 mm machine width, so it can work close to walls and in confined spaces. Standard boom swing enables offset digging alongside walls and foundations.

Load-Sensing Hydraulics

A standard load-sensing system, built with a LE-HYDRAULIX main pump and control valve and LONKING swing and travel motors, adjusts hydraulic flow according to working demand. This supports smooth, precise control, well-coordinated multi-function movements and efficient use of engine power during digging, grading and attachment work.

Operator Comfort & Pilot Controls

The ROPS / FOPS cab features wide glazing for a clear view of the bucket and work area, a suspension seat designed to reduce vibration and operator fatigue, and an LCD display for clear, at-a-glance machine monitoring. Standard air conditioning helps keep the cab comfortable, while hydraulic pilot joysticks provide light, precise control throughout long working days.
