Forklift Motors
A forklift purchase is not to be taken lightly. A forklift is a huge capital expenditure, and a complex equipment with a motor strong enough to perform heavy-lifting tasks. The price tag for a forklift ranges from $10,000 to $30,000, comparable to the cost of a small truck. If buying a second-hand forklift, be certain to have it inspected for possible mechanical issues.

There are two various kinds of forklift motor: electric or internal combustion. Forklifts with electric motors are usually more expensive than those with internal combustion motors. The motor size must suit the type of work for which the forklift would be used. A forklift with a motor which is big costs more compared to a forklift with a motor that is smaller.

Motors that use gasoline or propane could lift heavier weights as they are normally stronger than electric motor. The disadvantage is that gas motors tend to develop issues more frequently compared to electric motors. Depending on the price of propane or gas, gas powered forklifts could be more expensive to run than electric powered forklifts.

Some reputable manufacturers of forklifts are Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Crown Equipment Corp., Toyota Industries and NACCO Industries. Before making a decision, research the different manufacturers and the availability of parts. Prices, reviews and testimonials can be found on line.
