The Bobcat GC35S-9 is an 8,000 lb four-wheel LPG cushion-tire forklift, the entry point of Bobcat’s large-capacity cushion range. It is available with a PSI 4.3L six-cylinder or Kubota WG3800 3.8L four-cylinder LPG engine, so parts availability or fuel economy preference can decide the option.
At 149.2 in overall length and a 90.5 in turning radius, it is built for heavier manufacturing, building-materials, and steel-handling floors where standard-capacity trucks run out of margin.
LPG power keeps it cycling through multi-shift, high-throughput operations without a charging window, and cushion tires keep the ride stable on smooth concrete.
Choose the GC35S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to four tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm engine and mast options.

GC35S-9 FAQs
Which engine should I choose, the PSI 4.3L or the Kubota 3.8L?
Both are rated in the low-90s horsepower range and fit the same 8,000 lb chassis. The choice usually comes down to your preferred service network and parts availability. Tell us your maintenance provider and we will recommend one.
Is there a more compact version of the GC35S-9?
Yes. The GC35S-9 BCS runs a shorter counterweight and chassis for tighter spaces such as boxcars, trailers, and congested docks, at the same 8,000 lb capacity.
