The Used CAT 336D2L Excavator is a large crawler excavator built for demanding excavation, material handling and site development. With a strong Cat diesel engine, high-flow hydraulic system and long crawler undercarriage, it offers the capacity required for large construction projects while maintaining smooth machine control.
This model is well suited to contractors, equipment rental companies, mining operators and used machinery distributors looking for a proven 35–40 ton class excavator.
Its heavy structure also makes it suitable for continuous digging, truck loading, quarry work, foundation excavation and large-scale infrastructure projects.
Cat C9 ACERT Engine for Heavy-Duty Operation
The CAT 336D2L uses the Cat C9 ACERT diesel engine with an 8.8 L displacement. Caterpillar specifies engine power of 209 kW / 280 hp and net power of approximately 208 kW / 279 hp.
This power level allows the excavator to maintain strong hydraulic performance when digging dense soil, loading heavy material or working on demanding job sites.
The engine is paired with a hydraulic system designed to provide strong flow for the boom, stick, bucket and swing functions. Therefore, operators can complete repeated digging and loading cycles with stable movement.

Long Reach and Large Digging Envelope
One common 336D2 L configuration combines a 6.5 m HD reach boom, 3.2 m stick and approximately 1.88 m³ SAE bucket. With this setup, the excavator reaches approximately:
- Maximum digging depth: 7,510 mm
- Maximum ground-level reach: 11,050 mm
- Maximum cutting height: 10,250 mm
- Maximum loading height: 7,080 mm
- Maximum vertical wall digging depth: 5,420 mm
This working range is useful for deep foundation work, large drainage channels, bulk excavation and truck loading.
Different bucket and front configurations are available. Caterpillar's specifications show bucket capacities changing according to linkage, bucket type and application, so the exact bucket supplied with a used unit should be confirmed before shipment.
High-Capacity Hydraulic System
Large excavators require more than engine power. Hydraulic response directly affects digging speed and cycle time.
The CAT 336D2L provides a total main hydraulic flow of approximately 562 L/min, while Caterpillar specifies equipment and travel hydraulic pressures up to 35,000 kPa.
This hydraulic capacity supports strong boom lifting, stick movement and bucket penetration. It also provides a suitable platform for compatible attachments such as hydraulic breakers, heavy-duty buckets and other excavator work tools.
Stable Long Crawler Undercarriage
The long crawler frame gives the machine a wide and stable working base.
This is especially important when working with a large bucket or digging at extended reach. At the same time, steel tracks provide strong traction on soil, gravel, quarry surfaces and unfinished construction sites.
Caterpillar lists several track shoe sizes and operating weights for different 336D2 L configurations. For example, operating weight changes according to boom, stick and track shoe selection.
Therefore, buyers can confirm the exact undercarriage configuration of each used machine before placing an order.
Built for Large Construction Projects
The used CAT 336D2L can handle many demanding applications, including:
- Large foundation excavation
- Highway and road construction
- Quarry loading
- Mining support
- Pipeline and drainage projects
- Commercial site development
- Bulk earthmoving
- River and channel construction
- Heavy material loading
- Infrastructure construction
Compared with smaller excavators, its larger operating class provides more digging capacity and a greater working range for high-volume projects.
Operator Cab and Working Visibility
The enclosed cab provides broad glass coverage around the operator area. The machine shown also includes additional protective guarding around the cab, which can help protect the operator station in demanding job-site conditions.
The CAT 336D2 L platform was designed with a ROPS cab, accessible controls and a color monitoring system. Caterpillar also emphasizes visibility and operator comfort as key features of this model.
For a used unit, the seat, monitor, joysticks, air-conditioning system, lights and electrical functions can be checked as part of the machine inspection.
Used Excavator Inspection Before Delivery
For international buyers, the condition of a used excavator matters as much as the model specification.
Before delivery, key areas can be checked according to the individual machine, including the engine, hydraulic pump, control valve, boom and stick cylinders, swing system, travel motors, final drives, rollers, sprockets, track chains and bucket linkage.
In addition, buyers can confirm the machine serial number, working hours, year, bucket configuration and attachment requirements before shipment.
Photos and operating videos can also be used to help overseas customers review the machine condition before final order confirmation.
