The Bobcat D140S-9 is a 31,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, a step up onto a longer 128.0 in wheelbase in Bobcat’s high-capacity diesel range. The 172.6 hp HDI/DL06 engine and heavier chassis handle the largest industrial freight loads.
At 272.0 in overall length, it’s built for steel coil, heavy machinery, and oversized crate handling well beyond what a standard pneumatic-tire truck carries.
A 56.8% max gradeability at 1 mph keeps it controlled under heavy load, and the same oil-cooled disc brake system used across Bobcat’s diesel lineup carries a 5-year/10,000-hour warranty at this capacity.
Choose the D140S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 15.5 tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.

D140S-9 FAQs
How does the D140S-9 compare to the D160S-9?
Both share the same chassis dimensions and mast. The D160S-9 carries 5,000 lb more capacity — step up if your heaviest recurring load runs past 15.5 tons.
Why is the wheelbase longer than the D100S-9 and D120S-9?
128.0 in vs 118.1 in — the longer chassis spreads the added capacity across a bigger footprint, keeping the truck stable at this weight class.
