The Cat® 336 Excavator is built to move more with less fuel. A proven Cat® engine and advanced hydraulics deliver fast cycles, strong digging force, and reduced operating costs. Reinforced booms and a durable undercarriage extend machine life in tough terrain, while the cab maximizes operator comfort with intuitive controls. Paired with Cat buckets, thumbs, and hammers, the 336 adapts to multiple applications, increasing machine utilization and investment value.
Move more every shift with powerful hydraulics and smooth swing torque. Cat Grade and Payload speed cycles and reduce passes, keeping uptime high and jobs profitable.
Built tough with reinforced booms and a rugged undercarriage that thrives in harsh terrain. The 336 is built to last where others wear down.
Auto Heavy Lift delivers added power only when you need it, helping you handle heavy loads safely and efficiently while cutting wasted fuel.

| Note (1) | Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air intake system, exhaust system, and alternator with engine speed at 2,000 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture. |
| Note (2) | ¹Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) and are compatible* with ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)*** 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. *While Caterpillar engines are compatible with these alternative fuels, some regions may not allow their use. ** Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels. *** Engines with no aftertreatment devices are compatible with higher blends, up to 100% biodiesel (for use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer). |

| Air Conditioning | The air conditioning system on this machine contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas refrigerant R134a or R1234yf. See the label or instruction manual for identification of the gas. If equipped with R134a (Global Warming Potential = 1430), the system contains 0.90 kg (1.984 lb) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 1.287 metric tonnes (1.419 tons). If equipped with R1234yf (Global Warming Potential = 0.501), the system contains 0.780 kg (1.719 lb) of refrigerant, which has a CO2 equivalent of 0.001 metric tonnes (0.001 tons). |
