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.
Factory tech (Grade Assist, Payload, VisionLink) cuts grade time and error.
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.
