The Bobcat DV160S-9 is a 36,000 lb four-wheel diesel pneumatic-tire forklift built on a wide-track chassis with a 48 in load center, double the standard 24 in used across the rest of Bobcat’s pneumatic lineup. That matters when the load’s weight sits farther from the fork face than a standard pallet.
At 342.5 in overall length and a 147.6 in wheelbase, it’s built to handle long steel bar stock, pipe, and oversized crated freight where a standard-chassis truck would be over-rated for the actual load geometry.
The 187.3 hp HDI/DL06 engine matches the D160S-9’s power output, so the wide-track chassis doesn’t cost anything in raw engine performance, only in overall footprint.
Choose the DV160S-9 when your heaviest recurring load is long or oversized rather than a compact pallet, and a 24 in load center doesn’t match your actual load geometry. Tell us your load dimensions, and we will confirm the fit.

DV160S-9 FAQs
What does the wider 48 in load center change versus the D160S-9?
It's rated for the same 36,000 lb, but the load's center of gravity can sit twice as far from the fork face — matters for long steel bar stock, pipe, or oversized crated freight where a standard 24 in load center would over-rate the truck.
Why is the DV160S-9 so much longer than the D160S-9?
342.5 in overall length vs 272.0 in — the wide-track chassis and longer 147.6 in wheelbase spread the load and keep the truck stable when carrying material that extends well past a standard pallet.
