Bobcat Introduces New Lithium Batteries, Forklifts and Warehouse Equipment at LogiMAT

Published on: 11 March 2025

Bobcat is presenting several new developments at LogiMAT 2025 as part of a comprehensive display of the company’s material handling product lines, including diesel, LPG and electric forklifts, reach trucks and warehouse equipment such as pallet trucks and stackers. 

Bobcat is showing three new developments in the range including: 

 

Introducing Bobcat Lithium (Li-ION) Batteries

At LogiMAT 2025, Bobcat is announcing the upcoming launch of the company’s new Li-ION battery range, available in various capacity options. This reliable, high-quality battery technology has been developed by Bobcat and will be installed in each series. 

With a lifespan 2–3 times longer than lead-acid batteries – plus fast, efficient charging – lithium battery power can ensure that work can be kept flowing more flexibly. Moreover, with a 5-year/10,000 hour warranty and seamless forklift integration, Bobcat’s lithium batteries deliver lasting value for any application.

Key specifications include:

  •  400 and 600 Ah available for each voltage
  •  Integrated with truck CANBUS, no need for a separate display
  •  Cell chemistry: LiFePO4 (LFP) = Lithium iron (ferro) phosphate
  •  Heat management system applied 
  •  Monitoring and diagnostics app available

 

New Bobcat Li-ION Chargers

The battery range is complemented by new Li-ION Chargers from Bobcat. The chargers are optimised for quick and reliable charging, ensuring equipment is powered and running efficiently. Where the customer needs a rapid stand-alone charger, Bobcat Li-ION Chargers provide the flexibility and performance to keep operations running smoothly.

New Warehouse Equipment (Class 3)

Bobcat is updating its warehouse equipment portfolio with three new product series. In addition, the company’s current LSM12N-7 and BSL12/16N-7 stackers are now available in initial lift versions. The new warehouse products will also be available with Li-ION batteries from production. 

New warehouse product series:

  • BPM16/20N-7: pedestrian powered pallet trucks: 1.6 & 2 t capacity
  • BPR20/25N-7: powered pallet trucks with platform: 2 & 2.5 t capacity
  • BSR12/16N-7: powered platform stacker trucks: 1.2 & 1.6 t capacity
  • BSR16N-7i: powered platform stacker truck with initial lift: 1.6 t capacity

The new BPM16/20N-7 pallet trucks are the perfect match for all kinds of applications in and around SMEs, manufacturing and warehousing. The long tiller arm provides optimal, highly ergonomic operation. It requires less effort, and the operator maintains an optimal distance from the truck. Top-quality components, robust construction, a travel speed up to 6 km/h, and simplified maintenance make the pallet trucks in this series reliable partners for every task.

The BPR20/25N-7 powered platform pallet trucks feature a travel speed of up to 8 km/h, ensuring the trucks are built for optimal horizontal transportation over extended distances. Equipped with Electric Power Steering (EPS), these trucks offer ergonomic and safe operation. The suspension flip-down platform minimizes body vibrations, and the sideways protective arms provide additional stability and protect the operator during turns. In walking operation mode, the platform and arms are folded compactly within the truck's outline, conserving space. 

The 1.2 and 1.6 t capacity BSR12/16N-7 powered platform stacker trucks are designed for high efficiency, excelling in storage and picking operations involving heavy weights. The ergonomic, suspension flip-down platform – paired with protective arms – greatly enhances operational efficiency. These trucks are capable of reaching lift heights up to 5.5 m and they are also perfect for tasks over extended distances. 

Thanks to the robust 8 mm metal skirt, strong chassis, durable mast and metal battery cover – along with premium components from leading suppliers – these models lower service costs and ensure constant readiness for professional use. The EPS system, coupled with the proportional lifting function, enables smooth and effortless stacking operations.

Bobcat’s First Li-ION 3-wheel Forklifts 

The company is introducing the BNT series, Bobcat’s first Li-ION 3-wheel forklifts, designed for light to medium-duty applications. These models — B16NT, B18NT and B20NT — offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution tailored to the growing electric forklift market. The new range extends Bobcat’s electric counterbalanced line-up. 

Manoeuvrability is the key aspect in the design of these forklifts, making them ideal for use in tight environments. Despite their compact size, these forklifts boast an ergonomic design that ensures large leg room and exceptional operating comfort for the operator. Setting a new standard in confined space material handling, these forklifts provide a smooth ride and high stability in every job.

Three different load capacity models are available:

  •  B16NT – 1.6 t load capacity at 500 mm
  •  B18NT – 1.8 t load capacity at 500 mm
  •  B20NT – 2.0 t load capacity at 500 mm

Key Highlights

  •  Dual Drive: equipped with 4.5 kW dual-drive motors to boost productivity
  •  Maintenance-free 51.2V 300 Ah Li-ION (LFP) battery and 150A charger (380V)
  •  Comfortable dimensions: designed for compact environments, while still offering comfortable spacious dimensions for the operator
