The Bobcat D90S-9 is a 20,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift and the top of Bobcat’s large-capacity diesel range. It shares the 108.5 hp engine and 98.4 in wheelbase with the D80S-9 below it.
At 206.3 in overall length, it’s the longest truck in the large-capacity family, carrying the most capacity on this chassis before stepping up to Bobcat’s high-capacity D100S-9 and above.
An 11.1 in ground clearance and 105.2 in overhead guard height keep it stable and capable on the roughest outdoor surfaces this capacity class works, from steel service centers to bulk concrete-products yards.
Choose the D90S-9 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 10 tons and you want to stay on the large-capacity chassis before moving to Bobcat’s high-capacity range. Tell us your load, and we will confirm the fit.

D90S-9 FAQs
Is the D90S-9 the largest truck in the large-capacity diesel family?
Yes, at 20,000 lb it tops the range. Heavier loads move to Bobcat's high-capacity diesel family (D100S-9 and above), which runs 22,000-36,000 lb.
How does the D90S-9 compare to the D80S-9?
Both share the same 108.5 hp engine and 98.4 in wheelbase. The D90S-9 carries 2,500 lb more capacity, the tradeoff being a slightly lower top travel speed.
