The Bobcat B30S-7 is a 6,000 lb four-wheel electric counterbalance forklift, built for the manufacturing floors where pallets run heavier than a typical dock operation. It is the third step up in Bobcat’s 7-Series pneumatic lineup.
It keeps the same 11.2 mph travel speed as the rest of the S-7 family, still the fastest among Bobcat’s electric forklifts. Pneumatic tires make that speed useful across yard transfers between buildings, not just inside a warehouse.
That combination of capacity and speed suits appliance and white-goods manufacturing, where finished units move on pallets that outweigh standard freight. The B30S-7 carries that weight without slowing down the line.

B30S-7 FAQs
Is 6,000 lb enough for heavier manufacturing pallets?
For most manufacturing pallets, yes. If your heaviest unit load runs above 6,000 lb, step up to the 6,400 lb B32S-7 and tell us your loads so we can confirm.
How does the B30S-7 compare to the B25S-7 and B32S-7?
It carries 1,000 lb more than the B25S-7 and 500 lb less than the B32S-7, with the same 11.2 mph travel speed and pneumatic tires shared across the whole S-7 family.
Is the B30S-7 suited to appliance or white-goods manufacturing?
Yes. Its 6,000 lb capacity handles the heavier finished-unit pallets typical of appliance and white-goods lines without slowing down production.
