The Caterpillar 336 is a large crawler excavator in the 36-tonne class. Contractors use machines of this size for bulk excavation, quarry work, trenching on large sites and loading haul trucks.
Caterpillar's current Tier 4 / Stage V listing gives a net power of 300 hp under ISO 9249 and an operating weight of about 81,100 lb for the base configuration. Caterpillar's older 336 listings show different figures, including 311 hp and 81,900 lb, so the model year and emissions tier should be checked before comparing machines.
Working weight and reach depend on the boom, stick, bucket and track shoes. Confirm those options with a dealer before using any single figure to plan transport or lifting.
