The Bobcat G40S-7 is a 9,000 lb four-wheel LPG pneumatic-tire forklift, a step up in Bobcat’s midsize-capacity range. It shares the 92.5 hp engine and 78.7 in wheelbase with the G35S-7 below it.
At 165.9 in overall length and 87.8 in overhead guard height, it handles the same lumberyard and scrap-yard applications as the G35S-7 with more capacity margin.
Dual-fuel capability and LPG cylinder exchange keep it running through multi-shift outdoor work without a charging window, and its mast and chassis platform carry through to the G45S-7, G50C-7, and G55C-7 above it.
Choose the G40S-7 when your heaviest recurring load runs close to 4.5 tons. Tell us your load and application, and we will confirm the fit.
