Forklift Motors
Purchasing a forklift is not to be taken lightly. A forklift is a huge capital expense, and a complex machinery with a motor strong enough to execute 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 purchasing a used forklift, be certain to have it checked for possible mechanical issues.

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

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

Reliable forklift manufacturers comprise Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Crown Equipment Corp., NACCO Industries and Toyota Industries. Before deciding, research the various manufacturers and the availability of parts. Testimonials, prices and reviews can be found on-line.
