Forklift Motors
Buying a forklift is something you must carefully think about. A forklift is a large capital expenditure, and a complex equipment with a motor strong enough to perform heavy-lifting jobs. The price tag for a forklift varies from $10,000 to $30,000, comparable to the cost of a small truck. If buying a used forklift, be certain to have it checked for potential mechanical problems.

The two kinds of forklift motors are: electric or internal combustion. Forklifts with electric motors are typically more costly than forklifts with internal combustion motors. The motor size must suit the kind of work for which the forklift would be utilized. A forklift with a large motor costs a lot more than one with a motor that is smaller.

Motors which use propane or gasoline can lift heavier weights since they are normally stronger than electric motor. The disadvantage is that gas motors tend to develop issues more often compared to electric motors. Depending upon the price of gas or propane, gas powered forklifts could be more pricey to operate compared to electric powered forklifts.

Reputable forklift manufacturers consist of Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Crown Equipment Corp., NACCO Industries and Toyota Industries. Before making a decision, research the different manufacturers and the availability of parts. Testimonials, prices and reviews could be found online.
