The Bobcat D60S-9 is a 13,500 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, the entry point of Bobcat’s large-capacity diesel range. Its 3.4-liter diesel engine makes 108.5 hp and includes Shift ProTek hot-shift transmission protection.
At 189.7 in overall length and a 97.2 in overhead guard height, it’s built for heavy steel, concrete-products, and building-materials handling where a midsize-capacity truck runs out of margin.
Oil-cooled disc brakes and the same Guardian Stability System and Operator Sensing System found across Bobcat’s diesel lineup keep this capacity class safe and low-maintenance under heavy daily use.
Choose the D60S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 6.75 tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.

D60S-9 FAQs
How does the D60S-9 compare to the D70S-9?
Both share the same 3.4L engine, mast, and 90.6 in wheelbase. The D60S-9 is rated 13,500 lb; step up to the D70S-9 for 15,500 lb if your heaviest recurring load runs past 6.75 tons.
What's the benefit of the large-capacity diesel family over the G60S-7 LPG truck at the same capacity?
Diesel typically runs a lower fuel cost per hour in heavy multi-shift outdoor use and doesn't require a propane cylinder exchange program. Choose diesel if your site already runs diesel equipment or fuel.
