336F XE^Non-Current

Understanding your needs and requirements leads us to developing innovative products – products that help you win in a competitive environment. The 336F XE with hydraulic hybrid technology is the latest example of such an innovative product. This excavator is built for those of you who work machines long and hard and need the absolute highest level of productivity. When you see XE on a Cat machine, you can count on it being the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient machine capable of working in all applications and material types.

Caterpillar also offers a traditional 336F model. This machine is built for those of you who also get paid by the job and are looking for a high level of productivity. Even though it isn't equipped with hydraulic hybrid technology, the 336F provides excellent fuel efficiency and productivity compared to competitive offerings.

So when you think of XE, think of the following attributes:
• Reliable, durable, and rebuildable
• Low cost per unit of work
• Breakthrough and innovative
• Maximum efficiency

When you think of the traditional model, think of these attributes:
• Reliable, durable, and rebuildable
• Low cost per unit of work
• Proven
• Highly efficient

No matter which model you choose, if it has the Cat brand on it, you can depend on it being a quality-made machine backed by the world's finest product support.

The 336F XE uses three building block technologies to deliver outstanding fuel savings and performance for you:
• The Cat Electronic Standardized Programmable (ESP) pump smoothly transitions between the hydraulic hybrid power sources, engine, and accumulator to conserve fuel.
• The Cat Adaptive Control System (ACS) valve optimizes performance by intelligently managing restrictions and flows to control machine motion.
• Instead of wasting kinetic energy during swing braking, the Cat Hydraulic Hybrid Swing System pressurizes the accumulator to stop the machine and then uses that pressure when needed to accelerate the machine later.
Bottom line: The hydraulic hybrid system is a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution that will help you significantly reduce your cost per ton.

Our Smart Valve Is Smart For You

The 336F L XE's hydraulic hybrid system is unlike hybrid systems available from any other heavy equipment manufacturer in business today. The key ingredient is the ACS valve, which you can find only on the Cat brand.

Think of the ACS valve as the “brain” of the system – one that independently controls machine functions and directs hydraulic energy where you need it precisely when you need it. Because the ACS valve is fully integrated with the pump and hybrid system, you will experience the same extraordinary control, hydraulic power, and lift capacity that you get from our traditional high-production machines with the added benefit of dramatically reduced fuel consumption. That's why we are now offering the valve on our larger machines like the 374F and 390F.

Smart valve. Smart machine. Simply a smart investment for your business.

Up to 20% less fuel consumption than 336F – the fuel economy and performance leader in its size class.

LINK Technologies

LINK technologies like Product Link™ are deeply integrated into your machine and wirelessly communicate key information, including location, hours, fuel usage, idle time, and event codes.

Product Link/VisionLink

Easy access to Product Link data via the online VisionLink user interface can help you see how your machine or fleet is performing. You can use this information to make timely, fact-based decisions that can boost job site efficiency and productivity and lower costs.

PAYLOAD Technologies

Payload technologies accurately measure material being loaded or hauled. Payload data is shared with operators in real time to improve productivity, reduce overloading, and record progress.

Cat Production Measurement

Cat Production Measurement brings payload weighing to the cab, enabling operators to weigh loads “on the go.” Loads are weighed as the boom swings. Operators can view load weights on the integrated display and know precisely how much material is in the bucket and when trucks are filled to target payload. Instant feedback gives operators the confidence to work more effectively, maximizing the potential of the entire fleet. Site managers can wirelessly access data via the VisionLink® web portal to measure production and monitor efficiency.

GRADE Technologies

Grade technologies combine digital design data and in-cab guidance to help you reach target grade quickly and accurately with minimal staking and checking. That means you'll be more productive, complete jobs faster in fewer passes, and use less fuel for a lower cost.

Cat Grade Control Depth And Slope

The factory-integrated Cat Grade Control system delivers 2D bucket tip elevation guidance to the cab to help operators create precise planes and slopes with ease. Real-time bucket tip elevation guidance on the easy-to-read standard cab monitor indicates how much to cut or fill. Fast response sensors deliver immediate feedback. Integrated joystick buttons help operators make quick adjustments to maintain consistent, quality grades. Built-in alerts can be set to warn the operator if the linkage or bucket approaches a predefined elevation or depth like when working in areas with low ceilings or digging near water lines. Staking and checking is minimized, which reduces ground crews and enhances job site safety. The system works best in simple 2D applications such as digging basements or grading steep embankments. You can easily upgrade to AccuGrade™ when 3D control is required.

Cat AccuGrade

The dealer-installed AccuGrade system provides 3D guidance for making complex cuts and contours, eliminating the need for staking and checking. A dedicated monitor displays a digital design plan with 3D bucket tip positioning and elevation guidance, indicating precisely where to work and how much to cut or fill. The plug-and-play capability on the 336F XE simplifies upgrading. Choose from satellite (GNSS) control for large projects with complex designs or total station (UTS) systems in areas with limited reception.

An Emissions Solution That Works

The Cat C9.3 ACERT U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final engine is built to meet your demanding needs all day long. There is no interruption to your job process because the Cat regeneration system works automatically with no operator intervention required. If your operators are working in heat-restricted areas, they can use a manual override button to move the machine before the regeneration process begins.

Fuel Savers That Add Up

The 336F XE features three power modes to help manage fuel consumption: high power, standard power, and economy. Two additional fuel-saving features are on-demand engine power and engine idle shutdown. On-demand engine power keeps speed low during light loading and idling; it automatically adjusts speed up when it senses a heavier load. Engine idle shutdown automatically shuts the engine off when idling for more than a specified amount of time that you set, which can save significant amounts of fuel and reduce emissions.

Biodiesel Not A Problem

The 336F XE runs on ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, but you have added flexibility with the C9.3 ACERT engine because it's equipped to run on biodiesel up to B20 blended with ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel. Just fill it up and go.

Proven Technology

Every Tier 4 Final ACERT engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air, and aftertreatment components. Applying these time-tested technologies lets us meet your high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability, and service life. Following are the results you can expect:
