About · Caterpillar 336

Overview

The Caterpillar 336 is a large hydraulic crawler excavator operating at 37,150 kg and producing 311 hp, positioning it firmly in the 35-to-40-tonne class of heavy earthmoving equipment. With a bucket capacity of 2.27 m³, it is designed for high-volume digging, loading, and material handling in demanding production environments. The 336 represents Caterpillar's core offering in this weight class, combining the brand's established hydraulic system architecture with a machine size suited to large-scale civil and extractive operations.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Machines in the 35-to-40-tonne excavator class are typically deployed on major earthworks contracts, quarry face excavation, bulk material loading into large rigid or articulated haulers, and heavy demolition projects. The 336's operating weight and bucket capacity make it equally relevant for port and infrastructure work where high cycle rates and structural durability are priorities. It is also used in pipeline trenching and large-scale land-clearing operations where ground conditions require significant breakout force.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of any large crawler excavator in this class should prioritize the undercarriage, as track components represent a significant portion of refurbishment exposure and wear is directly correlated with operating surface and hour accumulation. Buyers should request full service records and oil sample analysis histories, particularly for the engine, hydraulic system, and swing drive, to assess internal component condition beyond what visual inspection reveals. Hydraulic cylinder seals, boom and stick pin wear, and bucket linkage condition are reliable indicators of how a machine has been worked and maintained. Confirm that all auxiliary hydraulic circuits, if fitted, are fully functional and that any quick-coupler or attachment interface meets current safety standards applicable in the buyer's operating jurisdiction.

Current market

Price position

The Caterpillar 336 competes directly with the Doosan DX350 and the Volvo EC350 in the 35-to-40-tonne segment. Against the Doosan DX350, the 336 carries a marginal operating weight advantage and benefits from Caterpillar's globally dense parts and service network, which is a practical consideration for buyers operating in remote or high-utilization environments. Against the Volvo EC350, the 336 offers a comparable power output while differing in cab ergonomics and hydraulic system philosophy, areas where operator familiarity and fleet standardization often drive the final purchase decision. Within the 336's own price band, the principal attributes that move a unit are accumulated service hours, maintenance history and documentation, machine configuration including long-reach or mass-excavation boom setups, the presence of quick-coupler systems, and the condition and compatibility of any attached or included work tools.
