Model overview

This used Cat 336 D2L excavator is a heavy-duty production specialist designed for the most demanding earthmoving, mining, and large-scale infrastructure environments. As a cornerstone of the 36-ton class, this platform represents the pinnacle of Caterpillar’s reliability engineering, combining high breakout force with a reinforced long undercarriage (L-series) that ensures superior stability on uneven or soft terrain.

Caterpillar C9 ACERT™ Engine: The Heart of the Workhorse

This used excavator is powered by the legendary Cat C9 engine, delivering peak torque and fuel efficiency for heavy-duty mining. ACERT technology utilizes precision electronic control of fuel and air to maximize thermal efficiency. Our diagnostic team at the Shanghai yard verifies that the ECM logs show consistent performance parameters and zero fault codes. For international buyers, the robust filtration system ensures compatibility with varied local fuel qualities.

The D2L Long Undercarriage: Stability for High-Impact Work

The reinforced long undercarriage provides a larger footprint, virtually eliminating pitching during heavy lifting. We inspect every link, idler, and sprocket against factory service limits. The machine arrives with documented track-wear measurements for the selected unit. The reinforced X-frame design sheds mud and debris efficiently, preventing accumulation that can damage rollers.

Advanced Hydraulics and Load-Sensing Intelligence

Productivity is driven by a cross-sensing hydraulic system that automatically manages pump output based on real-time load. During arm-in operations, the hydraulic regenerative circuit recycles oil to speed up cycle times and lower heat load. This allows for precision grading of roadbeds or foundations. Auxiliary lines are already factory-installed for breakers or grapples.
