The Bobcat B45X-7 is a 9,000 lb four-wheel electric counterbalance forklift, the middle truck in Bobcat’s large-capacity X-7 pneumatic line. Its 80V drivetrain delivers full power without exhaust, running on pneumatic tires built for docks, ramps, and outdoor yard work.
Steel and metals service centers put this capacity class to work moving coil racks, bar stock, and palletized plate. Oil-cooled disc brakes carry a 5-year, 10,000-hour warranty, holding up to the repeated stop-and-go of yard and dock cycles. The Guardian Stability System trims travel speed and forward tilt automatically when the mast is raised, adding a layer of control around heavy, awkward loads.
At 9,000 lb it sits between the 8,000 lb B40X-7 and the 10,000 lb B50X-7, sharing the same 80V system, 24 in load center, and 9.3 mph travel speed as both. The B45X-7 also matches the B50X-7’s mast-lowered height and overhead guard height, so cab clearance is the same going into either truck.
Pick the B45X-7 when your heaviest recurring load sits around four and a half tons. If you are between the B40X-7 and the B50X-7, tell us what you are lifting and we will match the capacity to the job.

B45X-7 FAQs
Is 9,000 lb the right capacity for my loads?
It covers most steel and metals service center work like coil racks and palletized plate. If your loads run lighter or heavier, the 8,000 lb B40X-7 and the 10,000 lb B50X-7 share the same chassis and power system, so tell us your heaviest load and we will confirm.
Can the B45X-7 replace a 9,000 lb LP or diesel forklift?
Yes. It runs full 80V electric power on pneumatic tires for outdoor dock and yard work, with none of the exhaust or fuel handling an LP or diesel truck at this weight class requires.
Is the B45X-7 built for steel or metals handling?
Yes. The 5-year, 10,000-hour oil-cooled disc brakes and Guardian Stability System are built for the repeated heavy stops and controlled mast movement that coil and plate handling demand.
