The CAT336GC excavator is flexible to operate, highly efficient, fuel-efficient, and easy to maintain and service. In practical use, this model has performed outstandingly in earthwork projects, mining, municipal construction and other scenarios. The body welds are solid and the quality is reliable. The operator commented that its chassis is solid, stable and reliable. Its safety has been greatly enhanced under harsh working conditions. The machine starts up and responds to actions quickly. The lifting speed of the large arm and the rotation speed are both very fast, which improves the working efficiency. The cab is particularly spacious and comfortable. The new shock-absorbing seat can relieve fatigue from long-term work, and the operation handle and touch screen are more convenient.
1. Excellent fuel economy
The CAT336GC is equipped with the Cat C7.1 ACERT engine, with a rated power of 194kW. It adopts an advanced fuel management system, and the fuel efficiency can be improved by up to 5% compared with the previous model. By precisely combining a lower engine speed with a large-capacity hydraulic pump, a synergistic effect is exerted, reducing fuel consumption while enhancing work efficiency. The intelligent mode can automatically match the engine speed and hydraulic power according to the excavation conditions, allocate power as needed, and avoid unnecessary fuel waste. The brand-new electro-hydraulic control system has eliminated the hydraulic pilot pump, reducing fuel consumption. Compared with traditional models, fuel consumption can be saved by 10-15% per hour.
2. Reduced maintenance costs
Compared with the 336D2 model, the maintenance interval of the CAT336GC is longer, and the maintenance cost is expected to be reduced by up to 15%. Key maintenance cost reduction items include: robust and integrated filters have shortened maintenance time, and the maintenance intervals for both oil and fuel filters have been extended. The improved hydraulic system filter has a higher dirt storage capacity and a service life of up to 3,000 hours, which is 50% longer than before. The advanced Cat air filter has double the dust retention capacity, and the fuel system filter has a synchronous maintenance interval of up to 1,000 hours, which is twice as long as before. The oil filter and fuel filter are centrally installed on the right side of the machine, facilitating daily maintenance.
3. Comfortable driving experience
The CAT336GC is equipped with an ISO-certified ROPS (Anti-Roll) cab, featuring quietness and sealing. The cab adopts a large window design. The large Windows at the front, sides and rear allow the operator to enjoy the best view in all directions while sitting on the seat. The front pillar of the cab is designed with narrow edges, providing a wider field of vision. It is equipped with a standard rearview camera, allowing the operator to always and easily keep track of the surrounding conditions of the excavator. The cab is spacious, with a 30% increase in legroom and a 50% improvement in the field of vision. It is equipped with wide seats, shock-absorbing seats and an 8-inch color touch screen. The operation handle is ergonomically designed. It is equipped with a standard Bluetooth integrated radio, USB interface, 12V DC power socket, AUX interface, and ample storage space, providing operators with a comfortable and convenient working environment.
4. Intelligent technology configuration
The CAT336GC is equipped with a high-resolution 203mm (8-inch) touchscreen monitor, and most machine Settings can be controlled through the touchscreen. Supports keyless one-click start, which can be initiated via Bluetooth key card, smartphone application or operator ID password. Each control handle button can be programmed using the operator ID, including power mode and response. The machine will remember these programs and call them up each time it is operated. It is equipped with the standard Cat Product Link™ system, which enables remote monitoring of the machine's operating status, location, working hours and fuel consumption through the VisionLink® online interface. The automatic stop function of the hydraulic hammer can prevent wear and tear of the tooling and excavator. When the hydraulic hammer is overloaded, the automatic stop signal will continuously warn for 15 seconds and automatically shut off after 30 seconds.
5. Strong performance
The overall working weight of the CAT336GC is 33,900 kg, with a bucket capacity of 1.88m³, a bucket digging force of 197kN, a bucket rod digging force of 148kN, and a maximum digging depth of 7,520 mm. The engine can operate at an altitude of up to 2,300 meters without a reduction in engine power. It can still function normally in a high-temperature environment as high as 52°C, and its cold start capability is as low as -18°C. The maximum flow rate of the main pump in the hydraulic system is 559L/min, the maximum pressure is 35,000 kpa, the rotational speed is 8.74rpm, and the maximum rotational torque is 137kN·m. It is equipped with a standard dual-speed driving function, offering a faster walking speed and a climbing ability of up to 35 degrees. The extended boom design is 50 centimeters longer than the previous boom, making it easy to pick up the soil along the track and solving the problem that the large excavator bucket cannot sweep the soil along the track.
6. Reliable structural design
The CAT336GC features reinforced structural components and is designed for harsh working conditions. The track pins and bushings are sealed with grease to reduce driving noise and prevent debris from entering, thereby extending the service life of the chassis system. The central track guide guard helps keep the excavator tracks aligned, and the inclined track frame can prevent the accumulation of soil and debris, reducing the risk of track damage. The engine fuel and intake systems are carefully protected. The fuel pre-filter element has an oil-water separation function, which can effectively protect the engine. The parallel-arranged cooling system has a better heat dissipation effect, ensuring that the machine operates at the highest efficiency at an appropriate temperature.
