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
