Model Announcement: 1:24 scale Cat 336E Excavator



We are pleased to announce our latest 1:24 precision scale die-cast model.

The Machine:
Since its introduction in the 1990s, the 300 Series family of excavators has become the industry standard in general, quarry, and heavy construction applications. The first model in the new E Series family, the 336E, meets the demands for more productivity and comfort, less fuel consumption and emissions. Hydraulic horsepower for the 336E has increased from the previous series’ output due to a high-pressure system, including pump and other improvements. This translates into the new E Series moving more material in less time. The operator's station has everything needed to meet the needs for comfort and productivity. All systems can be monitored easily on the large LCD display. 291 flywheel horsepower is provided by the proven Cat C9.3 ACERT diesel engine, featuring three different power modes: high power, standard power, and economy power. The operator can easily change between these to meet the needs for the job at hand – all to help manage and conserve fuel. An extensive range of Cat Work Tools for the 336E includes buckets, compactors, grapples, multiprocessors, thumbs, rakes, rippers, and shears. Quick couplers allow one person to change work tools in seconds for maximum performance and flexibility on a job site.

The Model:
The CCM 1:24 scale die-cast model of the 336E Excavator is an impressive piece. Working at this scale allows us to add even more highly accurate detail than usual. Hydraulic lines and connections, manifolds, bolts, engine – all are represented in stunning accuracy. Doors and access panels open like they do on the real machine allowing a great view of the full operator's cab and C9.3 ACERT power plant. Connections for the cooling, electrical, and hydraulic systems are fully detailed. Individually-linked track shoes are spring tensioned. Boom and stick have a full range of motion, echoing the real machine. The Cat paint scheme, markings and safety labels are all approved by Caterpillar. The 336E Excavator model will be available in two work tool variations: a general duty bucket version with hydraulic thumb, and a quick-coupler version with interchangeable general-duty bucket and wide-cleanout buckets.

Each model comes packaged in a collector's box and includes a signed and serial numbered spec brochure reproduction.

Production will be limited, so please contact us if you would like to be placed on the waiting list for this impressive model.
