Just because they both have 360 in the name, doesn’t mean that they are the same, which is the common misconception. In this blog post, I will be comparing Komatsu PC360 vs Cat 336 (which is a fantastic Excavator) to see if there are any differences and when you should pick one over the other. The output of this comparison will also include advantages and disadvantages.

Komatsu PC360 vs Cat 336 Excavators |Dipper

Today we are taking a look at two excavators, Komatsu PC360 vs Cat 336 Excavators |Dipper. In this video, we are going to be looking at the dipper performance of each machine. The dipper is one of the hardest working parts of an excavator so it is important to know how they perform.

The Cat 336 has been around since 2009, whereas Komatsu have recently redesigned their PC360 and released it in 2017. So it will be interesting to see how they compare.

For this test we have used a 7 tonne bucket on both machines. we have looked at how quickly they can fill the bucket, how they perform with a full bucket, and then how quickly they can dump the load.

Komatsu PC360 vs Cat 336 Excavators|Driveline

Both Komatsu and Cat are well-known names in heavy equipment manufacturing, but they take different approaches to excavator design.

The Komatsu PC360 offers a mid-sized excavator option for contractors who don’t want an overly large machine on their jobsite. This makes it an ideal option for projects that have a lot of tight corners or narrow access points.

Komatsu designed their PC360 with ergonomics in mind, which means that it is more comfortable for operators to use over the long haul. The cab is slightly larger than competing models, which also helps to make operators more productive.

The PC360 does not have the same capabilities as some larger machines, so it isn’t ideal for major excavation projects. But its size makes it a good fit for smaller construction sites where you need to move some dirt without getting in the way of other workers doing different tasks.

The Cat 336 Excavator is available in two configurations. The E Series model was originally introduced back in 2008 and remains popular today because it is still supported.
