Designed for 2025, the 12,760 kg articulated wheel loader combines zero-emission operation with robust performance, making it an ideal choice for construction, mining, and material handling applications where environmental impact is a key concern.

Powered by a lithium iron Phosphate (LFP) battery with a 193 kWh capacity, the 838TE delivers 120 kW (continuous) + 95 kW (peak) of electric motor power. 

With CCS2 fast-charging compatibility, operators can recharge the battery in six hours. 

Unlike traditional diesel loaders, the 838TE produces no exhaust emissions, reducing operational costs and environmental footprint.

The planetary electronic control shift transmission offers smooth operation with two forward and one reverse speed, reaching a top speed of 40 km/h (forward) and 16.7 km/h (reverse). 

The standard ride control system enhances stability, while wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power even under heavy loads.

Built for tough conditions, the 838TE boasts an impressive bucket breakout force of 10,197 kgf and a static tip load of 9,600 kg, ensuring it can handle demanding material handling tasks. 

The 2.0 m³ bucket capacity (with options for different sizes) and 2,460 mm bucket width make it suitable for a variety of applications, from loose aggregates to heavy quarry materials.

With a dump height of 2,856 mm and a dump reach of 1,188 mm, this loader offers excellent loading efficiency for trucks and stockpiles. 

The 40° articulation angle and a tight 6,013 mm turn circle diameter allow for superior manoeuvrability in confined workspaces.

The 3,270 mm cab height provides excellent visibility, while the standard ride control system minimises operator fatigue over long shifts. 

The wet disc braking system ensures safe operation, even on steep gradients.
