About the Bobcat® BC18S-5

The BC18S-5 is Bobcat®'s take on a 3,500-lb battery-electric sit-down counterbalance forklift. The battery drivetrain means zero emissions and a quiet cab, so it's an easy call for indoor work where air quality matters. You don't buy this size for brute lifting. You buy it because it's quick and easy to place, which is why it lands in so many warehouses and shipping departments. Some of what comes on it: Zero-emission 36V electric drive, 4-wheel stability, and Regenerative braking. Ready to talk numbers on the BC18S-5? Give Valley Industrial Trucks a call at 888-952-7536. We're the Bobcat® dealer for the Youngstown and Akron area, and rather than throw a price on the web that won't match your truck, we quote each one around your loads, your attachments, and whether you want new or used. Financing and trade-in credit are on the table, rentals too if you're in a bind, and everything we sell is backed by our own shop in Youngstown, OH.

Buying the Bobcat® BC18S-5 — FAQ

Pricing, financing, lead times, and service answers for buyers across Youngstown and Northeast Ohio.

How much does the Bobcat® BC18S-5 cost?

We quote the Bobcat® BC18S-5 rather than post a price, because what you pay comes down to how it's configured: mast, attachments, tires, new or used. Call 888-952-7536 or request a quote online and we'll get you a real number, usually the same day. Financing and trade-in credit can bring the out-of-pocket cost down, so ask about both.

Can I finance the Bobcat® BC18S-5?

Yes. We finance the Bobcat® BC18S-5 through equipment lenders we work with regularly, with terms that depend on your credit and the amount. We'll also take your current forklift in on trade and put that toward the purchase. Call 888-952-7536 and we'll walk through the options.

How soon can I get a Bobcat® BC18S-5?

It depends on stock. If we have one on the ground or a good used unit, we can often have it to you within a few days across the Youngstown and Akron area; a new factory order takes longer. If you're stuck without a truck in the meantime, we can put you in a rental to bridge the gap. Call 888-952-7536 for where things stand right now.

What is the lifting capacity of the Bobcat® BC18S-5?

The Bobcat® BC18S-5 is rated to lift 3,500 lbs at a 24 in load center. It's a battery-electric sit-down counterbalance forklift. For the exact rating on your configuration and attachments, give us a call at 888-952-7536.

Is the Bobcat® BC18S-5 electric, propane, or diesel?

It's battery-electric on a 36V system, with no exhaust, which is what makes it a good fit for indoor warehousing, food-grade work, and climate-controlled space.

Does the Bobcat® BC18S-5 come with warranty, service, and parts support?

Yes. We're an authorized Bobcat® dealer, so the BC18S-5 comes with full factory warranty, and our own factory-trained techs service it with OEM parts across the Youngstown and Akron area. Call 888-952-7536 to book service or set up a preventive-maintenance schedule so it's handled before something breaks.
