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

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

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 problems more often than electric motors. Depending upon the price of gas or propane, gas powered forklifts can be more pricey to run compared to electric powered forklifts.
