No,
Convert to same units then compare: If by ton you mean long ton (as used in UK): 1 t = 2240 lb → 9 t = 9 x 2240 lb = 20160 lb > 18000 lb

If by ton you mean short ton (as used in USA): 1 t = 2000 lb → 9 t = 9 x 2000 lb = 18000lb which is not greater than 18000 lb as it is equal to 18000 lb.

Either way
18000lb which is not greater than 9T

it is equal because every 2000 pounds is 1 ton and 18000lb divided by 2000 equals 9.
