The Bobcat D45S-9 is a 10,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift in the middle of Bobcat’s midsize-capacity diesel range. It runs the same 74 hp HDI engine as the D35S-9 and D40S-9 on a longer 83.3 in wheelbase.
At 174.0 in overall length, it’s built for heavier lumberyard and steel-yard loads where the lighter trucks in the family run out of capacity margin.
The oil-cooled disc brake system, extended maintenance intervals, and industry-specific application packages (anti-dust, foundry, anti-corrosion) carry through from the rest of the 9 Series diesel range.
Choose the D45S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to five tons. Tell us your load and yard conditions, and we will confirm the fit.

D45S-9 FAQs
Is 10,000 lb enough for steel coil or bundle work?
It covers most lighter coil and bundle loads up to five tons. Heavier steel-service work may call for the D50C-9 or D55C-9 above it.
How does the D45S-9 compare to the D40S-9 and D50C-9?
All three share the same 74 hp HDI engine. The D45S-9 sits between them at 10,000 lb, on a slightly longer 83.3 in wheelbase than the D40S-9's 79.5 in.
