The Bobcat D33S-9 is a 6,500 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, sitting between the D30S-9 and D35C-9 in Bobcat’s medium-capacity diesel range. It runs the same 62 hp Tier 4 Final engine and 66.9 in wheelbase as the rest of the family.
At 149.5 in overall length and a 93.3 in turning radius, it’s built for building-materials and steel-yard work where the load is heavier than a standard warehouse pallet.
The oil-cooled disc brake system and extended maintenance intervals (2,000-hour transmission and drive axle oil, 1,000-hour engine oil) keep operating costs down over the truck’s life.
Choose the D33S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 3.25 tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.

D33S-9 FAQs
How does the D33S-9 compare to the D30S-9 and D35C-9?
All three share the same 62 hp engine and 66.9 in wheelbase. The D33S-9 sits between them at 6,500 lb, 500 lb over the D30S-9 and 500 lb under the D35C-9.
What's the tradeoff for the added capacity over the D30S-9?
Slightly lower lift speed (99.5 vs 115.1 fpm loaded), the normal tradeoff for more capacity on the same mast and hydraulic system.
