Features & Benefits
Operational Enhancements
8
High Visibility Mast
The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility.
Operator Sensing System
Should the operator leave the seat, the OSS automatically initiates these functions:
- Quickly stops all truck movement
- Locks the lift, lower and tilt functions of mast and hydraulic assemblies
- A seatbelt warning light will alert the operator to re-fasten the seat belt
- The shift selector must be in the neutral position in order to re-start the truck
Electronic Parking Brake
Automatically applies brakes should operator leave the seat. The release is conveniently located next to the hydraulic control levers. The actual braking mechanism is mounted inside the transmission.
Strobe, Alarm, Mirrors
A strobe, backup alarm, and side mirrors come standard on all models.
Rear Grab Bar w/ Horn Button
Allows operator to sound the horn while holding onto the rear grab bar handle and travelling in reverse. Standard on these models.
Orange Seat Belt
Orange seatbelt has a sensor to remind the operator to remain belted at any time the truck is in operation.
Spring Lock on Engine Cover
Provides support for the hood. Spring lock automatically engages whenever the engine cover is raised, and the technician must manually release it to close it.
3-Point Entry/Exit System
A hand rail along mast, the seat armrest, and large anti-slip step plate enhance entry and exit.
Simplified Serviceability

Industry-Specific Application Packages
Bobcat's large capacity cushion tire trucks offer you specialized packages for those extreme applications. Customize your truck to fit the job and improve efficiency.
- The anti-dust package minimizes particulate buildup on the forklift. This is the preferred option for tough applications such as lumber and stone, steel, ceramic tiles, solid fertilizers, cotton, and recycling.
- Our foundry package is recommended for customers who mainly operate trucks in high-temperature environments such as foundry (Iron, aluminum, or nonferrous metals), casting, forging, and rolling.
- The anti-corrosion package is recommended for high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Package minimizes damage to the forklift from being corroded by acid, moisture, or salt environments found in applications such as fisheries, ports, chemical processing and storage, sugar, and beverage.
Heavy-Duty Transmission & Drive Train
Heavy-duty transmission and drive train. Transmission has Shift ProTek, which protects the transmission during shift on the fly at up to 5 mph.
Improved Operator Comfort
- Operator leg room is increased by 20%
- Inching and brake pedal effort has been reduced 70%
- Thick rubber floor mat reduces heat and noise
- Smaller steering wheel means less operator fatigue
- Fully adjustable suspension seat is standard on all models
- Conveniently positioned hydraulic levers reduce operator shoulder and arm fatigue
- Lower dash profile provides improved forward view
- Lower step-up into operators compartment for ease of entry and exit
- Pedals and seat are designed for increased operator comfort
Enhanced Cooling System
Our standard cooling system is equivalent to others' heavy duty cooling systems which cost you thousands more.
Multi-Engine Performance Mapping System
The dual-performance engine settings provide a choice between STD mode and Eco mode. Eco mode can further reduce fuel consumption by approximately 5%.
Durable Reliability
4
Industry Proven LP Engines
Our LP engines provide excellent power, performance, fuel economy, low noise, and low vibration along with superior durability.
Oil Cooled Disc Brakes
This 'Best-in-Class’ brake system comes with a 5-Year or 10,000 working hour warranty
- Discs are submerged in oil, keeping them cool and limiting wear
- 100% of friction material is used for superior stopping power
- OCDB are more easily serviced in the field than traditional brakes
- System is sealed for maximum protection against contamination
Robust Hydrostatic Steer Axle
- No mechanical connections between the steering wheel and steer axle
- Fewer moving parts mean fewer things that could fail, assuring maximum run-time.
- Low-effort steering for operator comfort and reduced fatigue
- Quick steering response for increased maneuverability
- Grease fittings on kingpin and steer linkage for easy maintenance
- Shock-absorbing steer axle bushings extend the service life of the unit
Superior Components vs. Competitive Models
The steer axle assembly is built with durable components which enhance product life and reduce maintenance costs.
- Larger diameter kingpins and tapered roller bearings for a stronger axle
- Tapered rollers are stronger against side impact forces
- Tapered roller bearings have an inner race to eliminate wear on the kingpin
Lower Cost of Ownership
5
Extended Service Intervals
By extending the time between recommended maintenance intervals, you effectively spend less money on preventative maintenance tasks.
Money-Saving Oil Cooled Disc Brakes (OCDB)
These industry-leading brakes come with a 5-Year/10,000 hr. warranty, which can save you thousands in brake service and repair over the life of the truck.
Steer Axle
The hydrostatic steer axle has fewer moving parts to replace, saving you downtime and costing you less to maintain.
Superior Components
Require less maintenance and reduces costs
- Larger kingpins and tapered roller bearings
- Tapered roller bearings are superior against side impacts
Eco Mode
These fuel-efficient engines allow the user to choose from either Standard Mode or Eco Mode. Eco Mode saves on fuel costs.
