The Bobcat D80S-9 is a 17,500 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift, a step up in Bobcat’s large-capacity diesel range onto a longer 98.4 in wheelbase. The 108.5 hp diesel engine and 11.1 in ground clearance handle the roughest outdoor surfaces.
At 205.3 in overall length and a 105.2 in overhead guard height, it’s built for the heaviest steel, lumber, and concrete-products loads that still fit within a standard pneumatic-tire chassis.
Higher ground clearance than the D60S-9 and D70S-9 below it matters on unpaved lots, loading pads with debris, and rough yard surfaces where a lower chassis would drag.
Choose the D80S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 8.75 tons. Tell us your load and site surface conditions, and we will confirm the fit.
