The Bobcat G15S-5 is a 3,000 lb four-wheel LPG pneumatic-tire forklift, the entry point of Bobcat’s small-capacity outdoor line. Its 2.4L engine runs on liquid propane, so a cylinder swap keeps it working instead of waiting on a charger.
Pneumatic tires give it more ground clearance and traction than a cushion-tire truck of the same size, useful for gravel yards, unpaved lots, and the transition from a paved dock apron onto rough ground.
At 120.8 in overall length and an 85.4 in overhead guard height, it stays maneuverable for a truck built to work outdoors, a fit for smaller yards, nurseries, and light building-materials handling.
Choose the G15S-5 when your heaviest recurring load stays under a ton and a half and most of your work happens outside on gravel or unpaved surfaces. Tell us your yard conditions and load, and we will confirm the fit.

G15S-5 FAQs
Why pneumatic tires instead of cushion at this capacity?
Pneumatic tires have more ground clearance and a wider tread than cushion tires, so the G15S-5 handles gravel, dock aprons, and light outdoor yard work that would be rough on a cushion-tire truck of the same size.
How does the G15S-5 compare to the G18S-5 and G20C-5?
All three share the same 2.4L LPG engine and 24 in load center. The G15S-5 is the lightest at 3,000 lb; step up to the 3,500 lb G18S-5 or 4,000 lb G20C-5 if your heaviest recurring load runs past a ton and a half.
