Forklift Motors
Buying a forklift is something you must think about carefully. A forklift is a big capital expenditure, and a complex machine 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 used forklift, be certain to have it checked for possible mechanical issues.

There are two different types of forklift motor: internal combustion or electric. Forklifts with electric motors are usually more costly compared to those with internal combustion motors. The motor size should suit the kind of work for which the forklift will be utilized. A forklift with a large motor costs a lot more than a forklift with a motor which is smaller.

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