Bobcat Debuts New High-Capacity Forklifts

Bobcat Company has expanded its North American material handling lineup with the introduction of its new 9-Series high-capacity diesel pneumatic tire forklifts. Engineered for demanding work environments, the five-model series delivers industry-leading performance, reduced operating costs and enhanced operator comfort—setting a new standard for productivity and durability in material handling applications.

The 9-Series includes the D100S-9, D120S-9, D140S-9, D160S-9 and DV160S-9, each equipped with upgraded drivetrains, advanced hydraulic systems and high-output diesel engines. These improvements help businesses move heavier loads more efficiently while lowering fuel consumption and increasing reliability on the job.

Engineered for High Demand and Maximum Productivity

Designed for industries ranging from aviation and utilities to mining, logging and heavy manufacturing, the Bobcat 9-Series forklifts provide the power and control needed for high-demand applications.

Operators benefit from:

• High-performance diesel engines

• Class-leading lift and travel speeds

• One of the tightest turning radiuses in the industry

With optimized power transfer between the engine, drivetrain and hydraulic system, the series delivers exceptional performance on slopes, uneven terrain and heavy-load applications. Operators also have the option of Standard Mode or Eco Mode, allowing them to tailor power output or maximize fuel efficiency depending on the task.

Operator Comfort Designed for All-Day Performance

The Bobcat 9-Series forklifts were engineered with operator comfort and safety in mind. The redesigned floating cab boosts all-around visibility and minimizes vibration, while the interior provides a quieter, more ergonomic workspace.

Key comfort features include:

• Fully adjustable suspension seat

• Tilt and telescoping steering column

• Automatic heating and air conditioning

• Well-insulated cab for reduced noise

A standard 7-inch multi-function display, mounted on the A-pillar for better visibility, places key machine information at the operator’s fingertips. The display can also integrate with an optional rear-view camera to further improve jobsite awareness.

Durability That Maximizes Uptime

The 9-Series forklifts are built for longevity in harsh environments. A robust frame, load-sensing hydraulic system and long-life components work together to reduce downtime and extend machine life.

Notable durability features include:

• Shaft-type carriage for superior load handling strength

• Dual-element air cleaner for extended engine life

• Oil-cooled disc brakes with life spans up to 20,000 hours

• Hydraulically driven variable-speed cooling fan (with optional reversible function)

Maintenance is simplified through wide-opening rear hoods and a tiltable cab, making access to key service points faster and easier.

Advanced Safety Features Built Into Every Model

Safety remains a cornerstone of Bobcat’s material handling equipment. The 9-Series offers a long list of features designed to enhance visibility, operator awareness and overall stability.

Key safety features include:

• Panoramic and rear-view mirrors

• Guardian Stability System (GSS)

• Optional seatbelt interlock

• Optional rear object and pedestrian detection system

• Powerful LED lighting and optional safety lights

• Optional front-view and rear-view cameras

• Vehicle angle and steering angle indicators

• Auto electric park brake

The DV160S-9, the largest model in the lineup, delivers an impressive 36,000-lb load capacity at a 48-inch load center, with travel speeds up to 21.1 mph and lift speeds of 76.8 fpm. These capabilities make it ideal for heavy industrial environments such as shipyards, ports, steel foundries, utility work and lumber operations.
