IC Pneumatic, 3500 lb

Bobcat G15S-5 to G20C-5 Small-Capacity LPG Pneumatic Tire Forklift

The Bobcat Small-Capacity LPG Pneumatic Tire Forklift series (Models G15S-5, G18S-5, and G20C-5) is designed for versatile performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. These models feature a lift capacity ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 lbs and are powered by a fuel-efficient 2.4L LPG engine.

Core Performance & Durability

  • Engine: High-powered 2.4L HMC LPG engine delivering roughly 50 hp, engineered for low noise and vibration.
  • Braking System: Features virtually maintenance-free Oil-Cooled Disc Brakes (OCDB). The system is sealed to prevent contamination and is backed by a 5-year/10,000-hour warranty.
  • Transmission: Includes a power reversal transmission and Shift ProTek hot-shift protection, which allows for smooth "on-the-fly" directional changes at low speeds.
  • Robust Build: Equipped with a heavy-duty hydrostatic steer axle featuring large kingpins and tapered roller bearings to withstand side impacts.

Safety & Operational Features

  • Operator Sensing System (OSS): Automatically stops truck movement and locks hydraulic lift/tilt functions if the operator leaves the seat.
  • Improved Visibility: Features a high-visibility mast with strategically placed hydraulic hoses and a lowered dashboard to maximize the operator’s field of vision.
  • Ergonomics: Designed with a spacious operator compartment, including a telescopic/tilting steering column, ample legroom, and an easy-to-read LED display for system monitoring.
  • Hydraulics: A lift and tilt locking hydraulic control valve prevents accidental movement of the mast and carriage.
