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 carry out 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 used forklift, be certain to have it checked for potential mechanical problems.

There are two different kinds of forklift motor: electric or internal combustion. Forklifts with electric motors are usually more pricey compared to those with internal combustion motors. The size of the motor should suit the kind of work for which the forklift would be utilized. A forklift with a large motor costs more compared to one with a smaller motor.

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