Generation-Cat 336 Medium excavators-cover

The Cat 336 delivers big power in a 36.6 t (80,600 lb) frame, with a roomy 2.27 m³ bucket and factory automation that cuts rework and boosts productivity.

  • 223 kW (300 hp) C7.1 engine in a 36.6 t frame
  • 2.27 m³ bucket swallows more per cycle
  • Cat Grade with Assist, Payload, and VisionLink included
  • Grouped service points and long maintenance intervals

Overview

The Cat 336 is a 36.6 t (80,600 lb) Tier 4 Final excavator powered by a 223 kW (300 hp) Cat C7.1 TTA engine. It features a 2.27 m³ bucket, 8.2 m (26.9 ft) digging depth, and up to 11.73 m (38.5 ft) reach.

Pros Heavy bucket capacity boosts material moved per pass.
Factory tech (Grade Assist, Payload, VisionLink) cuts grade time and error.
Cons At 36.6 t, needs stable ground and haul planning.
Packed with tech, so operator training matters.

Performance & Efficiency

With 560 L/min hydraulic flow and high dig force (~210 kN), it balances power with precision. Fuel consumption drops up to 15%, maintenance costs fall due to extended service intervals.

In Comparison

Compared to the 336 GC, you get more hydraulic power and tech at a modest weight bump. Against the 340, it's easier to transport and still accurate.

Verdict

The Cat 336 delivers utility, accuracy, and productivity in one package. Ideal for large excavation and grading tasks. Skip it for ultra-tight access sites or if you need stripped-down simplicity.
