The Bobcat D160S-9 is a 36,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift and the top of Bobcat’s standard high-capacity diesel range. Its 187.3 hp HDI/DL06 engine is the largest engine in the family, a step up from the 172.6 hp used in the D100S-9 through D140S-9.
At 272.0 in overall length and a 128.0 in wheelbase, it shares its chassis dimensions with the D140S-9 while carrying more capacity and more engine power.
This is the largest-capacity truck Bobcat builds on a standard 24 in load center; heavier or longer loads that need a wider load center move to the DV160S-9 at the same 36,000 lb rating.
Choose the D160S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 18 tons on a standard load center. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.
