New Forklift Trucks
Diesel Forklifts in Bristol
New Bobcat diesel forklift trucks from 2.0 to 16.0 tonnes, to buy or hire from our team in Avonmouth. Our diesel counterbalance forklifts are built for outdoor yards, heavy loads and long shifts, and our own engineers service every truck we supply.
Diesel Forklift Truck Features
Bobcat diesel forklift trucks are made for outdoor and heavy-duty work: loading lorries, moving timber, steel and building materials, and working on rough or sloping yards where an electric truck would struggle. Refuelling takes minutes, so there is no battery to charge between shifts.
Every model has an operator sensing system and a wide-view mast, and we can specify the fork length, mast height and attachments to suit your loads.
- Diesel engines with strong torque for ramps and yards
- Capacities from 2,000 kg to 16,000 kg
- Fuel-efficient engines
- Operator sensing system
- Wide-view mast for clear visibility
- Comfortable, adjustable operator compartment
- Range of fork lengths and attachments
What is a Diesel Counterbalance Forklift?
A diesel counterbalance forklift carries its load on forks at the front, with a counterweight at the rear, and runs on a diesel engine rather than a battery or gas. It is the usual choice for builders’ merchants, timber and steel stockholders, farms and any yard where trucks work long shifts on rough ground.
Our new Bobcat diesel range runs from the 2.0–3.5 tonne 9-Series and the economy NX Plus series up to 16 tonne trucks for the heaviest loads. For indoor work, see our electric forklifts. If your truck moves between indoors and outdoors, our LPG forklifts are worth comparing.

Diesel Forklift FAQs
Mainly outdoor work: loading and unloading lorries, yard work, builders’ merchants, timber, steel and agricultural sites. They cope well with rough ground and ramps, and can run long shifts without stopping to charge.
Only in well-ventilated areas and for short periods, because of exhaust emissions. For regular indoor work, an electric forklift is the better choice. Our team can help you decide based on your site.
Our new Bobcat diesel counterbalance forklifts range from 2.0 to 16.0 tonnes: the 9-Series in 2.0–3.5, 4.0–5.5, 6.0–9.0 and 10.0–16.0 tonne models, and the NX Plus series in 2.0–3.5 tonnes.
Diesel suits outdoor and heavy work, electric suits indoor work with no exhaust emissions, and LPG suits trucks that move between indoor and outdoor areas. See our counterbalance forklifts page for the full range.
