Bobcat has introduced its largest diesel forklifts to date with the launch of the DV180S-9 and DV250S-9 models, expanding the company’s heavy-duty material handling portfolio across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the new forklifts offer lifting capacities of 18 tonnes and 25 tonnes respectively at a 1200 mm load centre, making them suitable for large-scale material handling tasks. The machines are powered by the HDI DL08V diesel engine and feature a ZF 4-WG-211 four-speed powershift transmission and a Kessler drive axle, ensuring durability, stability and reliable performance in heavy-duty operations.
The DV180S-9 is also among the most compact machines in its class, with a width under 2550 mm. This allows the forklift to be transported without special permits, helping reduce logistics costs and providing greater operational flexibility.
In addition to the new diesel models, Bobcat continues to expand its electric forklift offering. The company’s BNT series includes its first lithium-ion three-wheel forklifts, designed for light to medium-duty applications. The range includes the B16NT, B18NT and B20NT models, with load capacities from 1.6 to 2 tonnes. Built with manoeuvrability in mind, these forklifts are suited for tight working environments while maintaining high levels of operator comfort.
Bobcat also offers a wide range of warehouse equipment, including pallet trucks and stackers designed for efficient operations in manufacturing and logistics facilities. Models such as the BPM16N-7 pedestrian pallet truck and the BPR20N-7 platform pallet truck provide ergonomic operation, robust construction and travel speeds of up to 6–8 km/h, helping improve productivity in day-to-day warehouse handling tasks.
