The Bobcat D100S-9 is a 22,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, the entry point of Bobcat’s high-capacity diesel range. Its 172.6 hp HDI/DL06 diesel engine is purpose-built for this weight class, well beyond what the large-capacity D60-D90 family carries.
At 229.9 in overall length and a 118.1 in wheelbase, it’s built for the heaviest steel-service, freight, and bulk-materials handling where standard pneumatic trucks run out of capacity.
A 65.7% max gradeability at 1 mph gives it real hill-start and ramp capability under load, useful at rail-served facilities and terminals with grade changes.
Choose the D100S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 11 tons. Tell us your load and site layout, and we will confirm the fit.
