The excavator is auto-lube ready with built-in mounting points; an available auto-lube retrofit kit provides additional hardware to mount a grease pump and line guards – all to help do the job of lubing safer, cleaner, and trouble-free.
Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The Integrated Vehicle Health Management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance and parts needed so you don't experience unnecessary downtime.
Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.
Fuel and engine oil filters are accessible from the upper platform and synchronized to be changed at 1,000 hours.
The latest hydraulic oil filter provides high-quality filtration performance and features anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and the 3,000-hour extended replacement interval offers efficiency and convenience.
Scheduled Oil Sampling (S·O·SSM) ports with extended sampling intervals are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.
Using Cat® genuine oil and filters and doing typical S∙O∙S monitoring will extend the current service interval, giving you more uptime.
The high-efficiency hydraulic fan has a programmable automatic reverse function to keep cores free from debris, eliminating the need for any operator interaction.
The advanced air intake filter with pre-cleaner has a high dust-holding capacity.
The latest engine air cleaners with an integrated pre-cleaner surpass radial seal air cleaners' lifespan.

Sites where excavators work are typically rugged and challenging. That’s why it’s important that the 336 cab help protect the operator as much as possible from fatigue, stresses, sounds, and temperatures of the job.
Comfort and efficiency of movement help keep operators productive and alert all shift long. The standard seat is wide and adjustable for operators of virtually any size.
The tip-up left console makes getting in and out of the seat easy.
Two cab options – Deluxe, and Premium – let you choose the level of comfort you need.
The Deluxe cab package includes a heated air suspension seat; the Premium seat is heated and cooled.
The cab is sound-suppressed and sealed.
Advanced viscous mounts reduce cab vibration
Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls located in front of you.
The touchscreen monitor makes it easy to access critical information and settings. Shortcut keys make it easy, and two are for entertainment, heating, and air conditioning. There is also a shortcut key for apps and functions that you can set.
Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature throughout your shift.
Convenience features include Bluetooth® integrated radio, USB charging and phone connectivity ports, 12V DC outlets, and an AUX port.
Cup and bottle holders are easy to reach, and storage spaces are located conveniently throughout the cab.
Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles.

Not all features are available in all regions. Please check with your local Cat® dealer for specific offering availability in your area.

Operator ID keeps your excavator secure. To enable the push-button starting feature, use your PIN code on the monitor or the optional Bluetooth key fob.
Serrated steps, anti-skid plating, and handrails help you avoid slips and trips – a major contributor to workplace injuries.
Standard Lift Assist quickly calculates the actual load you are lifting and compares it to the rated load the excavator is capable of handling. Visual and auditory alerts tell you if you are within safe working range or need to take immediate action to avoid tipping.
See all around the machine with the premium 360 lighting package. The 1800-lumen lights on the chassis, cab, boom, sides, and rear illuminate the jobsite for operators and ground personnel.
Add optional inspection lighting to illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and cooling compartments, making service work more accessible.
Whether you are using a bucket, hammer, grapple, or clamshell, standard 2D E-fence automatically stops excavator motion using boundaries you set in the monitor for the entire working envelope – above, below, sides, and front. E-fence protects equipment from damage and helps reduce fines related to zoning or underground utility damage. Automatic boundaries even help prevent operator fatigue by reducing overswinging and overdigging. A travel direction indicator helps operators know which way to activate the travel levers.
Consider adding Cat® Command to your fleet. The remote-control system keeps you away from potential hazards. The non-line-of-site kit has a Wi-Fi radio, cameras, and a microphone to work anywhere.
Small cab pillars, large windows, and a flat engine hood design help you enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you.
Add a swing alarm to alert people when rotating from the trench to the stockpile.
Rear and right-hand-sideview cameras are standard. Upgrade to 360° visibility, and you’ll easily visualize objects and personnel around the excavator in a single view.
A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.
The right-hand service platform design help provide easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service platform; the service platform steps use serrated steps and an anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping. The handrails comply with ISO 2867:2011 requirements.
The standard ROPS meets ISO 12117-2 2008 requirements.
