The Bobcat GC45S-9 is a 10,000 lb four-wheel LPG cushion-tire forklift, a step up in Bobcat’s large-capacity range for heavier manufacturing, building-materials, and freight-handling work. Like the GC35S-9, it is available with a PSI 4.3L or Kubota WG3800 3.8L LPG engine.
At 153.1 in overall length and a 95.1 in turning radius, it is built for wide-aisle operations moving loads in the four-to-five-ton range rather than tight backroom staging.
LPG power keeps it running through multi-shift, high-cycle operations without a charging window, and cushion tires keep it stable indoors on smooth concrete.
Choose the GC45S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to five tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm engine and mast options.

GC45S-9 FAQs
How does the GC45S-9 compare to the GC35S-9?
The GC45S-9 adds 2,000 lb of capacity on a longer 70.5 in wheelbase, which widens its turning radius to 95.1 in versus the GC35S-9's 90.5 in. Choose it if your heaviest recurring load runs past 8,000 lb.
Is there a shorter-chassis version for tight spaces?
Yes, the GC45S-9 BCS runs a shorter counterweight and a shorter wheelbase for tighter docks and rail-car work, at the same 10,000 lb capacity.
