Technical Description

The Caterpillar 936E is a versatile wheel loader featuring a powerful CAT 3304 four-cylinder engine delivering 135.5 hp (101 kW) and a displacement of 427.2 cubic inches. It offers a bucket with a heaped capacity of 2.8 cubic yards (2 m³) and a struck capacity of 2.4 cubic yards (2 m³), with an 8.8-foot (2.0 m) bucket width. The loader provides a breakout force of 28,032 lbs (12,715 kg), ensuring strong material handling capability. Its dump clearance at max raise is 9.5 feet (3.0 m), with a hinge pin max height of 12.6 feet (4.0 m) and a reach at max lift and dump of 3.2 feet (1.0 m), facilitating efficient dumping in tight spaces. Dimensionally, the 936E measures 23.2 feet (7.0 m) in length with the bucket on the ground, 8.5 feet (2.0 m) in width over tires, and 11.1 feet (3.0 m) in height to the top of the cab. The wheelbase is 10 feet (3.0 m), and ground clearance is approximately 1.3 feet (0.4 m). It has a turning radius of 19.6 feet (6.0 m), enhancing maneuverability on confined sites. The hydraulic system is efficient with a raise time of 6.5 seconds, lower time of 3.2 seconds, and dump time of 1.8 seconds. It holds 38.6 gallons (144 L) of hydraulic fluid and has a fuel capacity of 52.9 gallons (197 L). Operating weight is approximately 27,106 lbs (12,295 kg), while static tipping weight is 19,846 lbs (9,002 kg). Transmission offers 4 forward and 4 reverse gears with max speeds of 26 mph (42 kph) forward and 28.6 mph (46 kph) reverse. Standard tires are 20.5-25 12PR, supporting heavy workloads effectively. This combination of power, hydraulic performance, and dimensions makes the Caterpillar 936E a reliable mid-sized wheel loader suitable for various construction and material handling tasks.
