The Bobcat B16X-7 Plus is a 3,000 lb four-wheel electric counterbalance forklift and the entry point of Bobcat’s X-7 small-capacity pneumatic line. Its 48V drivetrain runs clean and quiet for indoor and food-grade work, on pneumatic tires that still handle dock plates and light yard duty.
The Plus package adds refinements like cornering speed control and a maintenance-free brake system, and it takes Bobcat’s lithium-ion battery with a 6-year / 12,000-hour warranty. Opportunity charging fits into breaks, so there is no dedicated battery room to build.
At 3,000 lb it is the lightest of the X-7 trio, below the 3,600 lb B18X-7 and the 4,000 lb B20X-7. It also has the tightest turning radius of the three at 59.6 inches, which helps in narrower aisles.
Choose it when your heaviest recurring pallet stays around a ton and a half and most of your work is indoors. Not sure 3,000 lb gives you enough headroom? Send us your application and we will confirm the right capacity before you buy.

B16X-7 Plus FAQs
What does the "Plus" mean on the B16X-7 Plus?
The Plus package brings Bobcat's upgraded feature set of cornering speed control, a maintenance-free brake system, and the high-performance lithium-ion battery option with a 6-year / 12,000-hour warranty.
How tight can the B16X-7 Plus turn?
Its outside turning radius is 59.6 inches, the tightest of the X-7 small-capacity trio, which makes it the easiest of the three to work in narrower aisles.
Is 3,000 lb enough capacity for my operation?
It fits most single pallets in general manufacturing, beverage, and third-party logistics work. If your heaviest recurring load runs closer to two tons, step up to the B18X-7 or B20X-7, and tell us your loads so we can confirm.
