CAT 336
Caterpillar Excavator
CAT 336
- Large Excavator
- Heavy-Duty Digging
- Built for High Production
The CAT 336 is designed for contractors who need powerful digging force, fast cycle times, and long-term durability on demanding jobsites. With strong hydraulic performance and efficient diesel power, the 336 handles large excavation, heavy trenching, and high-volume material movement with confidence.
Heavy Excavation for Demanding Utility Projects
The CAT 336 is built for contractors completing large-scale excavation, deep trenching and high-production material movement.
Its size, hydraulic capability and digging force make it a strong option for pipeline construction, major utility installations and infrastructure projects where a mid-size excavator may not provide enough reach, depth or production.
A CAT 336 Is commonly used for:
- Natural gas pipeline construction
- Deep utility trenching
- Large-diameter pipe installation
- Large structure and vault installation
- Right-of-way excavation
- Material loading and handling
- Infrastructure and civil construction
- Jobsite restoration
- Mass excavation

Why Rent A CAT 336?
The CAT 336 gives pipeline and utility contractors the digging depth, lifting capacity and production power needed for large projects without the long-term cost of owning a heavy excavator.
It can help crews: Complete deeper and wider utility trenches, handle large pipe and underground structures, increase production on pipeline projects, move high volumes of material, support demanding excavation and backfilling work, and add heavy equipment capacity for major contracts.
