Forklift Motors
Purchasing a forklift is something you should carefully think about. A forklift is a huge capital expense, and a complex equipment with a motor strong enough to carry out heavy-lifting jobs. 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 sure to have it inspected for potential mechanical problems.

The two kinds of forklift motors are: internal combustion or electric. Forklifts with electric motors are normally more pricey compared to forklifts with internal combustion motors. The size of the motor should suit the type of work for which the forklift will be used. A forklift with a large motor costs more compared to a forklift with a smaller motor.

Propane or gasoline powered motors are commonly stronger compared to electric motor and are capable of lifting heavier weight. The downside is that gas motors tend to develop problems more often compared to electric motors. Depending on the price of gas or propane, gas powered forklifts could be more pricey to operate than electric powered forklifts.

Reliable forklift manufacturers include Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Crown Equipment Corp., NACCO Industries and Toyota Industries. Prior to deciding, research the different manufacturers and the availability of parts. Prices, reviews and testimonials can be found on-line.
