The Bobcat GC25S-9 is a 5,000 lb four-wheel LPG cushion-tire forklift in the middle of Bobcat’s medium-capacity range. It runs the same 59 hp 2.5L GCT GK25 engine as the GC20S-9, so both trucks share maintenance and parts.
At 133.1 in overall length and a 78 in turning radius, it handles standard manufacturing and distribution aisles without much loss of maneuverability over the lighter GC20S-9.
LPG power keeps it cycling through multi-shift operations without a charging window, and cushion tires keep the ride low and stable on smooth concrete.
Choose the GC25S-9 when your heaviest recurring pallet runs close to 2.5 tons. Tell us your load and shift pattern, and we will confirm the fit.

GC25S-9 FAQs
Is 5,000 lb enough for typical manufacturing pallets?
It covers most standard pallet loads up to 2.5 tons, common in general manufacturing and distribution work. If your heaviest recurring load runs past that, the 6,000 lb GC30S-9 gives more margin.
How does the GC25S-9 compare to the GC20S-9 and GC30S-9?
All three share the same engine, mast, and 24 in load center. The GC25S-9 sits in the middle at 5,000 lb, between the GC20S-9's 4,000 lb and the GC30S-9's 6,000 lb.
