336 - Tier 3 Large Excavators

    
1.  Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
2. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
    
3. A new notification center keeps important information visible to the operator, and displays messages without shrinking the camera view.
    
4. Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
    
5. Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine technology and features through a full suite of "how-to" videos.

    
1. Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear.
    
2.  After detecting inefficient or restricted actions, the system alerts the operator and provides insight into the inefficiency and steps to improve.
    
3. Paired with a VisionLink Productivity subscription, this information and other Operator Coaching insights can be viewed from anywhere.

    
• Standard integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with service guidance and parts needed to enhance uptime.
    
• Optional Cat Detect - People Detection helps the operator avoid personnel on the jobsite with visual and auditory alerts.
    
• Enhance visibility to make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting.

    
• The C7.1 twin turbo engine reliably delivers power to the pumps for maximum production.
    
• The electrohydraulic system responds quickly and efficiently to the task at hand.
    
• Match the excavator to the job with three power modes – Power, Smart, and Eco. Power mode is maximum power all the time. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing maximum power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel. Eco mode reduces engine speed and keeps it constant to reduce fuel consumption.

    
• Boost productivity up to 45% versus traditional grading with optional Cat Grade with 2D system – includes indicate-only and laser capability.​
    
• Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus, you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.​ 
    
• Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus, you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.​
    
• Optional Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging.​
    
• Dig with guidance to depth, slope, and horizontal distance to grade. You can set up to four different depth and slope targets to help save time and money.​
    
• Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist.​
    
• Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.​
    
• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.​
    
• Optional Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear.  

    
• ​VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.​
    
• VisionLink® Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment – regardless of the manufacture.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.​
    
• Cat® Inspect is a mobile application that allows you to easily perform digital preventative maintenance (PM) checks, inspections, and daily walkarounds. Inspections can easily be integrated with other Cat data systems like VisionLink® so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.​
    
• Remote Troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.​
    
• Remote Flash is a mobile application that allows you to update onboard software without a technician being present, allowing you to initiate software updates when convenient, increasing your overall operating efficiency.​
    
• The Cat PL161 attachment locator allows you to track attachments across all worksites, reduce the number of lost attachments, and plan for attachment maintenance and replacement. The work tool recognition feature automatically adjusts machine settings based on the selected tool.​

* Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.​

    
• Reinforced structures ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
    
• Work up to 4500 m (14,764 ft) above sea level.
    
• Standard high-ambient temperature capability is 52° C (125° F) with cold start capability at –18° C (0° F).
    
• Auto hydraulic oil warmup gets you to work faster in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
    
• Two levels of filtration protect the engine from low-quality diesel fuel.
    
• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
