Caterpillar 336 vs Komatsu PC210LC-11
The Caterpillar 336 is about 58% heavier than the Komatsu PC210LC-11 (36,800 vs 23,240 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Caterpillar 336 has about 88% more engine power (224 kW (300 hp) vs 119 kW (160 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Komatsu in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
