ElectricBoomandStickRegenerationValve
The	336E	features	unique	electric	boom	and	stick	regeneration	valves.	The	valves	use	gravity	during	
typical	“boom	down”	or	“stick	in”	operations	to	regenerate	flow	of	oil	from	the	head	end	of	the	cylinder	
to	the	rod	end	of	the	cylinder	instead	of	sending	it	all	the	way	back	to	the	hydraulic	tank.	This	distinct	
Caterpillar	solution	increases	efficiency	and	reduces	cycle	times	and	pressure	loss	for	higher	productivity	
and	lower	fuel	costs.

GradeControlDepthandSlope
This	optional	system	(1)	combines	traditional	machine	control	and	guidance	with	standard	factory
installed	and	calibrated	components,	making	the	system	ready	to	go	to	work	the	moment	it	leaves	the	
factory.	The	system	utilizes	internal	front	linkage	sensors	–	well	protected	from	the	harsh	working	
environment	–	to	give	operators	realtime	bucket	tip	position	information,	which	minimizes	the	need	
and	cost	for	traditional	grade	checking	and	improves	job	site	safety.	It	also	helps	the	operator	complete	
jobs	in	fewer	cycles,	which	means	less	fuel	use.	Cat	dealers	can	upgrade	the	system	to	full	threedimensional	
control	by	adding	proven	Cat	AccuGrade™	positioning	technologies,	including	GPS	and	Universal	
Total	Station	(UTS).	
CatProductLink*
This	deeply	integrated	machine	monitoring	system	is	designed	to	help	customers	improve	their	overall	
fleet	management	effectiveness.	Events	and	diagnostic	codes	as	well	as	hours,	fuel	consumption,	idle	time,	
machine	location,	and	other	detailed	information	are	transmitted	to	a	secure	web	based	application	called	
VisionLink™,	which	uses	powerful	tools	to	communicate	to	users	and	dealers.
