The Bobcat D30S-9 is a 6,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, a step up in Bobcat’s medium-capacity 9 Series diesel range. It shares the 62 hp Tier 4 Final engine and 66.9 in wheelbase with the D20S-9 and D25S-9 below it.
At 148.8 in overall length and a 92.7 in turning radius, it trades a little maneuverability for the extra capacity, a fit for heavier lumber bundles and building-materials pallets.
Three performance modes (ECO/STD/HIGH) let the operator match power output to the job, and the oil-cooled disc brake system carries the same 5-year/10,000-hour warranty as the rest of the family.
Choose the D30S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to three tons. Tell us your load and cycle count, and we will confirm the fit.
