Forklift Motors
A forklift purchase is not to be taken lightly. A forklift is a big capital expenditure, and a complex equipment with a motor strong enough to execute 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 second-hand forklift, be sure to have it inspected for potential mechanical problems.
The two kinds of forklift motors are: electric or internal combustion. Forklifts with electric motors are usually more costly than forklifts with internal combustion motors. The size of the motor should suit the type of work for which the forklift would be utilized. A forklift with a big motor costs much more compared to one with a smaller motor.
Motors that utilize propane or gasoline can lift heavier weights as they are normally stronger than electric motor. The disadvantage is that gas motors tend to develop issues more often compared to electric motors. Depending on the price of gas or propane, gas powered forklifts can be more expensive to run than electric powered forklifts.
Some reputable manufacturers of forklifts are Crown Equipment Corp., Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Toyota Industries and NACCO Industries. Before making a decision, research the various manufacturers and the availability of parts. Reviews, testimonials and prices can be found on the World Wide Web.
