Product Support and Dealer Readiness Customer support for the 336E H is provided exclusively by the on-the-ground support of Caterpillar’s worldwide dealer network. For decades, Cat dealers have made significant and substantial investments in facilities, people and expertise to support Cat excavators, including the new 336E H. Cat dealers know and understand hydraulics, and are prepared to consult with customers to help determine which Cat excavator model, whether hybrid or standard, is the best match for a customer. Dealers also are equipped with tools developed by Caterpillar that help them weigh factors into their recommendations, including a customer’s projected equipment use, budget and anticipated years of ownership to help ensure the proper decision. The 336E H also can be bundled with extended warranties and service contracts. Caterpillar Position on Technology According to Utley, it is the company’s

It provides a critical bridge as we continue to research, develop and build the technologies of the future — technologies that will help ensure our customers’ business success.”
