2026 BOBCAT B18SU-9

BOBCAT B18SU-9 ― ELECTRIC STAND-UP RIDER NARROW AISLE FORKLIFTS Precisely designed to pack a whole lot of productivity into a small dynamic package, the Bobcat® narrow aisle stand-up trucks are sure to be a favorite in whatever setting they find themselves in. HIGHLIGHTS • Reliable all-AC power • 36-volt electric counterbalance • 4-wheel cushion tire • Stand-up configuration • 3,000-4,000 lb. capacity • Excellent operator comfort • Superior productivity • Operational enhancements • Reliable drive and hydraulic motors • Advanced acceleration • Guardian stability system FEATURES & BENEFITS BACK-UP ALARM An alarm sounds when the machine is travelling in reverse direction. AMBER STROBE An optional flashing strobe sits behind and above operator to indicate machine location. REAR LED LIGHTING Brighter and longer lasting than conventional lighting. UL EE RATING Meets Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) Standards for EE rating. ELECTROMAGNETIC PARKING BRAKE The electromagnetic parking brake auto-engages when the operator exits truck. GUARDIAN STABILITY SYSTEM (GSS) • Decreases travel speed by 50% when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage • Forward tilt reduced to 2° when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage • Alarm sounds when traveling with mast raised beyond primary stage and tilt 2° • Auto speed control sensors indicate sharp turn and reduces travel speed proportionately LED WORK LIGHTS & BLUE LED SPOTLIGHTS Features brighter working lights for improved visibility in low light situations, blue spotlights indicate machine location. AUTO-TILT LEVELING Reduces sway when mast is extended with a load. TILT-SPEED CONTROL Reduces the forward and backward tilt speed of the mast to minimize sway when it is raised and under load. MONITORING & MAINTENANCE SERVICE PORT Another service and maintenance feature, aids in maintenance tasks including: • Makes troubleshooting quick and easy • Calibration of power • Test menu section • Data logging • Flash programming • Easy troubleshooting • Bright, Intuitive LED Display • Large, bright, and intuitive display provides truck health status quickly and easily. WIDE ANGLE HOOD OPENING Provides added room under hood for easy accessibility to maintenance points • Quick access to maintenance items QUICK-OPEN COVERS No special tools required, easy to access. HIGH VISIBILITY MAST The forklift has hydraulic hoses and mast chains which are strategically placed to enhance forward visibility. SMALL OUTSIDE TURN RADIUS The steer axle designs allow these trucks to be more maneuverable in confined spaces. FULLY ADJUSTABLE ARM REST The wide, cushioned arm rest is infinitely adjustable to suit various operator sizes or preferences. BACK REST & KNEE PAD Contoured and padded, reduces operator fatigue. FLOORPLATE SUSPENSION A comfortable floor plate combines with the thick floor mat to reduce operator fatigue. EXTENDED BACK REST Provides operator with more comfort for increased productivity during extended shifts. SMOOTH, RESPONSIVE ACCELERATION Enjoy quick and powerful acceleration, and smooth & continuous travel speeds thanks to the AC electrical controllers and CAN bus cc control system. EXCELLENT FORWARD AND UPPER VISIBILITY The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view. INTEGRAL SIDE SHIFTER The integral side-shift assembly replaces the standard carriage, therefore increasing residual load capacity vs. hang-on types. This allows the operator to shift the load from side to side for precise placement, reduces handling time, and improves maneuverability. RUGGED DUAL DRIVE MOTORS Individually controlled drive motors and drive units are ruggedly made for added reliability. BRUSHLESS ELECTRIC MOTOR DESIGN The maintenance-free brushless design provides more productivity and increased reliability. AC (ALTERNATING-CURRENT) DRIVE SYSTEM MOTORS CONTROLLER • An industry-proven AC drive system, motors & controller allows for precise handling. • Provides smooth responsive acceleration and lifting for greater reliability and productivity. ROBUST HYDROSTATIC STEER AXLE • No mechanical connections between the steering wheel & 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 DEPENDABLE AC (ALTERNATING-CURRENT) CONTROLLERS AC (alternating-current) controllers provide an unbeatable combination of power, performance, reliability and functionality. OHG The precisely designed Overhead Guard (OHG) profile has an optimized bar thickness and arrangement, providing strength and an enhanced view. FEWER OVERALL PARTS TO REPLACE With fewer overall parts on the vehicle, you save time on service and repairs, which increases your truck’s run-time which saves you money.
