The following are the latest and greatest in hydraulic excavators, for all your digging and lifting needs on pipeline jobsites.
PipeLine Machinery International (PLM) introduces the Cat 336, the next generation of hydraulic excavators. The Cat 336 raises the bar for efficiency and fuel economy in this size class with a Cat C9.3 ACERT engine and 311 hp (232 kW).
A precise combination of lower engine speed and large hydraulic pump pressure and flow delivers more work per unit of fuel, increasing fuel efficiency up to 15 percent. Extended maintenance intervals increase uptime and reduces cost. Pipeline jobsites where excavators would typically work can be rugged and challenging. The Cat 336 provides a solution to this with a cab that protects the operator as much as possible from the fatigue, stresses, sounds and temperatures of the job. All controls are in front of the operator which means no twisting around.
The Cat 336 also offers the industry’s highest level of standard factory-equipped technology, including Cat GRADE with 2D, GRADE with Assist, and PAYLOAD. In addition, Cat Connect Technology gives operators of all experience levels the ability to dig, load, and grade with more confidence, speed and accuracy.
Additional features of the new Cat 336 include a touchscreen monitor, New Smart Mode that sends power to where it is needed most, and a keyless push-button engine start that uses Operator ID codes to track machine access.

Doosan DX235LCR-5 reduced-tail-swing crawler excavators allow operators to work in confined areas without sacrificing trenching capabilities. With a 180-hp (net) diesel engine and a maximum digging reach of 31 ft, 7 in., the excavator is designed for exceptional performance. A tighter front minimum swing radius makes the DX235LCR-5 ideal for operating in congested jobsites, and its design minimizes the potential for damage when working close to structures.
An optional two-way dozer blade simplifies backfilling and allows the excavator to fill, smooth and level trenches more efficiently. A smooth cutting edge on the bucket allows operators to clean right up to the edge of the dozer blade, reducing further grading later. Plus, the dozer blades’ robust design allows for moderate site grading, reducing the need for other equipment to complete the task.
Doosan Infracore North America, LLC, headquartered in Suwanee, Georgia, markets the Doosan brand of products that includes crawler excavators, wheel excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, material handlers, log loaders and attachments. With more than 150 heavy equipment dealer locations in North America, Doosan is known for an unmatched dedication to service and customer uptime, and durable, reliable products. Doosan is fast becoming a global force in heavy construction equipment.

The KOBELCO SK210LC-10 boasts cutting-edge power and efficiency capabilities to make downtime a thing of the past. This 49,400-lb model is powered by a 160-hp Tier IV Final HINO engine that enables it to remain highly fuel efficient while easily tackling heavy-duty applications.
The SK210LC-10 delivers a dynamic bucket digging force of 35,300-lbf to achieve leading-class work volume, even while minimizing fuel consumption. In H-mode, it features an impressive ~7 percent increase in work volume, while providing up to a ~10 percent increase in fuel economy in S-mode and a further ~6 percent increase in ECO-mode. This boost in efficiency comes from a new hydraulic regeneration system, which aids the arm by reusing force generated by the boom, to further minimize energy loss and ensure outstanding performance.
The KOBELCO SK210LC-10 is more durable than ever and able to withstand the rigors of the toughest job sites. This unit comes standard with an untimed power boost function that instantly and continuously provides all the extra muscle you need to power through jobs without interruption. And, a higher boom foot cross-section, thicker arm-foot base plate and stronger foot bases provide ample power to lift the heaviest of loads and the rugged construction to stay safe while you follow through.
