The Bobcat D120S-9 is a 26,500 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift in the middle of Bobcat’s high-capacity diesel range. It runs the same 172.6 hp HDI/DL06 engine and 118.1 in wheelbase as the D100S-9 below it.
At 230.3 in overall length, it carries substantially more capacity than the large-capacity D60-D90 family while keeping the same chassis footprint as the D100S-9.
A 55.9% max gradeability at 1 mph and oil-cooled disc brakes keep it controlled under heavy load on grades and ramps common at rail-served and freight-terminal facilities.
Choose the D120S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 13.25 tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.
