The Bobcat D35S-9 is an 8,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, the entry point of Bobcat’s midsize-capacity 9 Series diesel range. Its 74 hp HDI diesel engine and higher top speed (15-16 mph) suit larger yards where trucks travel farther between staging areas.
At 163.8 in overall length and a 108.5 in turning radius, it’s built for lumber, steel, and building-materials work heavier than the medium-capacity family below it handles.
The same Guardian Stability System, Operator Sensing System, and oil-cooled disc brakes carry through from the medium-capacity diesel line, along with the anti-dust, foundry, and anti-corrosion application packages.
Choose the D35S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to four tons and your yard covers real distance between loads. Tell us your load and site layout, and we will confirm the fit.

D35S-9 FAQs
Is 8,000 lb enough for typical lumberyard loads?
It covers most banded and palletized lumber loads up to four tons. Heavier bundles or steel work call for the D40S-9 or D45S-9 above it on the same chassis platform.
How does the D35S-9 compare to the medium-capacity D35C-9?
Similar 7,000-8,000 lb range, but a different chassis. The D35S-9 runs a larger 74 hp HDI engine on the midsize-capacity platform, with a higher top travel speed (15-16 mph vs 12.5-13 mph).
