Bobcat Shows New Forklifts with Advanced Features

Bobcat Company is gearing up to showcase two innovative forklifts—each offering industry-leading performance and premium operator features—at ProMat 2025, held March 17–20 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Alongside these new introductions, Bobcat will display a wide range of electric counterbalance forklifts, diesel pneumatic tire forklifts and electric rider pallet jacks designed to boost productivity in material handling environments.

Located at booth S4138 in South Building, Hall A, the Bobcat exhibit highlights the brand’s ongoing commitment to delivering powerful, efficient and reliable forklift solutions for demanding warehouse and industrial operations.

Introducing the New Bobcat DV160S-9 High-Capacity Diesel Pneumatic Tire Forklift

The DV160S-9 is built for high-demand applications where speed, control and reliability are essential. Designed with a high-output diesel engine, the machine delivers class-leading travel and lift speeds paired with one of the tightest turning radiuses in its class—giving operators the maneuverability they need in constrained spaces.

Bobcat engineered this forklift with operator comfort in mind. The DV160S-9 features:

• A fully adjustable suspension seat

• A redesigned floating cab for improved visibility

• A pressurized and quiet interior

• Automatic heating and air conditioning

These enhancements reduce operator fatigue and help maximize productivity in challenging environments.

Introducing the Bobcat D45S-9 Midsize-Capacity Diesel Pneumatic Tire Forklift

The D45S-9 continues Bobcat’s long tradition of dependable forklift performance while offering one of the lowest total cost-of-ownership profiles in its class. Powered by a durable 3.4-liter D34 diesel engine, the D45S-9 combines exceptional performance with operating efficiency.

Users can choose between two performance modes:

• Standard Mode

The engine and transmission are designed for fewer scheduled maintenance intervals, helping operators save both time and operating expenses throughout the lifespan of the machine.
