PRODUCTIVITY WITH TECHNOLOGY Boost productivity up to 45 percent versus traditional grading with standard Cat GRADE with 2D system – includes indicate-only and laser capability. Standard Grade Assist: Stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging. Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications. Keep the tracks on ground in lifting and hard digging with Boom Assist. Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel. Standard Cat PAYLOAD on-board weighing system: Achieve precise load targets and increase loading efficiency with on-the-go weighing and real-time estimates of your payload without swinging. Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.

REDUCED MAINTENACE COSTS Expect up to 15 percent less maintenance cost than the 336F due to extended service intervals. (Savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours.) Check hydraulic system oil and easily drain fuel system water and fuel tank water from ground level. Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor. Change all fuel filters at a synchronized 1,000 hours. Oil and fuel filters grouped and located on right-hand side of machine for easy maintenance. The new air intake filter with pre-cleaner has double the dust holding capacity of the previous air intake filter. The new hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3,000 hour replacement interval – 50 percent longer than previous filter designs. The new high-efficiency hydraulic fans have an optional automatic reverse function to keep cores free from debris, eliminating the need for any operator interaction. S·O·S ports simplify maintenance and allow for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES Work safely with the standard 2D E-fence feature integrated right out of the factory, which prevents the excavator from moving outside of operator-defined set points. The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements. A travel direction indicator helps operators know which way to activate the travel levers. Enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a flat engine hood design. A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine. A rearview camera is standard. Upgrade to 360° visibility and you’ll easily visualize objects and personnel around the excavator in a single view. Serrated steps and anti-skid punch plate on the service platform help prevent slipping.
