Caterpillar Excavators: The King of Used Machines – Featuring the Powerful CAT 336

by Sam from Dige International Trading

When it comes to heavy machinery, one name consistently leads the market across every continent: Caterpillar. For decades, Caterpillar has been recognized as the king of excavators, dominating construction sites, mining operations, and infrastructure projects. Whether you’re in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, or Latin America, Caterpillar machines are trusted by professionals for one simple reason—they work, and they last.

Among the wide range of CAT excavators, the Caterpillar 336 stands out as one of the most powerful and reliable machines available in the used equipment market today.

Why Caterpillar Is Known as the King of Machines

There are several reasons why Caterpillar has earned a reputation for excellence:

• Unmatched Reliability – CAT machines are built to endure the toughest conditions on Earth.

• Global Support Network – Parts, service, and trained technicians are available almost anywhere.

• Excellent Resale Value – Used Caterpillar machines hold their value better than most brands.

• Operator Comfort and Safety – CAT cabins are designed for efficiency, visibility, and long-shift comfort.

These advantages apply across their full lineup—but especially with large excavators like the CAT 336.

The Power of the Caterpillar 336

The Caterpillar 336 is a heavy-duty excavator built for high-output applications such as:

• Mining

• Road construction

• Demolition

• Large-scale civil works

Key Features:

• Operating Weight: ~36 tons

• Engine: CAT C9.3B ACERT Engine (Fuel-efficient, Stage III & IV options)

Buyers love the 336 for its raw strength, smooth hydraulics, and durable undercarriage. At Dige International Trading, our clients often request this model for work in rock quarries, highway development, and other high-demand environments.

One recent shipment of a CAT 336D2 with low working hours went to a project site in Angola. The customer called it “a beast in the pit”—praising its smooth operation, low fuel usage, and ability to handle 12-hour shifts without overheating.
