Milton CAT 938H - Manual (Page 7)

Integrated Braking System. The Cat
exclusive Integrated Braking System
reduces axle oil temperatures and
improves transmission neutralizer
smoothness. IBS has a direct impact
on durability of the axles and brakes
especially in applications involving
long distances and/or heavy braking.
RADIATOR. Brazed aluminum
construction provides a stronger joint
for maximum durability and resistance
to leaks. The 6-fins-per-inch design
decreases the chance of blockage
and plugging.
STRUCTURES. The articulated frame
design of the 938H features a durable
plate engine frame and two plate loader
tower that is robotically welded.
Robotic welding creates frame joints
with deep plate penetration welds and
excellent fusion for maximum strength
and durability.
Engine End Frame (EEF). The 938H uses
a proven solid plate engine end frame
which provides a strong, rigid structure
that resists twisting and evenly distributes
impact loads. The result is an extremely
solid mounting platform for the engine,
transmission, axle, ROPS and other
accessories.
Hitch. The distance between the upper
and lower hitch plates is an important
contributor to machine performance
and component life. The Caterpillar
hitch design provides excellent load
distribution and bearing life. Both the
upper and lower hitch pins pivot on
double tapered roller bearings –
improving durability by distributing
both vertical and horizontal loads over
a larger surface area. The wide opening
also provides excellent service access.
Non-Engine End Frame (NEEF).
The non-engine end frame provides a
solid mounting base for the front axle,
lift arms, lift cylinders and tilt cylinder.
The fabricated, two-plate loader tower
design reduces material packing under
the lift cylinders while absorbing the
forces associated with loading, twisting
and material handling.
Counterweight. The two-piece
counterweight is integrated into the
938H design and provides added
protection for the lights by incorporating
them into the top of the structure.
Linkage. The 938H linkage is a single-
tilt Z-bar design. Z-bar linkage generates
excellent breakout force and good rack
back angle for better bucket loading
and load retention.
Lift arms are solid steel, providing
superior strength with an excellent front
end viewing area. The proven design
offers excellent dump clearance
and reach.
