The Bobcat B15T-7 Plus is a 3,000 lb three-wheel electric counterbalance forklift and the lightest capacity in Bobcat’s T-7 line. Its rear single-drive-wheel design gives it a 59.6 in outside turning radius, the tightest of the three-wheel trucks. It ships in cushion or pneumatic tires, so one platform covers smooth concrete or a mixed indoor and dock floor.
The 48V drivetrain runs on lead-acid or the high-performance lithium-ion pack, which carries a 6-year / 12,000-hour warranty. Opportunity charging fits into short breaks, so a small operation does not need to carve out space for a dedicated battery room. Travel speed tops out at 8.7 mph, plenty for a compact backroom or small retail distribution floor.
At 3,000 lb the B15T-7 Plus is built for light, frequent pallet moves rather than heavy or oversized loads. It fits well in backroom stockrooms and small retail distribution centers, where aisles are narrow and most pallets run under a ton and a half. Step up to the 3,500 lb B18T-7 Plus or the 4,000 lb B20T-7 Plus if your heaviest recurring load runs closer to two tons.
Its short 52 in wheelbase and compact chassis make it one of the easiest trucks in the Bobcat lineup to maneuver around fixtures and tight corners. Tell us your loads and your tightest aisle width, and we will confirm whether the B15T-7 Plus is the right fit.

B15T-7 Plus FAQs
Is 3,000 lb enough capacity for my operation?
It covers light, frequent pallet moves under about a ton and a half, common in backroom stockrooms and small retail distribution work. If your heaviest recurring load runs heavier, the 3,500 lb B18T-7 Plus or 4,000 lb B20T-7 Plus gives you more margin.
How does the B15T-7 Plus compare to the B18T-7 Plus and B20T-7 Plus?
All three share the same 48V three-wheel platform, 24 in load center, and 8.7 mph travel speed. The B15T-7 Plus carries the lightest capacity at 3,000 lb and the tightest turning radius at 59.6 in, while the B18T-7 Plus (3,500 lb) and B20T-7 Plus (4,000 lb) trade some of that tightness for more lifting capacity.
Can I run the B15T-7 Plus on cushion or pneumatic tires?
Yes, it is available with either. Cushion tires suit smooth indoor concrete, and pneumatic tires hold up on dock plates and light yard transitions, so match the tire to where the truck spends most of its time.
