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 perform heavy-lifting jobs. The price tag for a forklift varies from $10,000 to $30,000, comparable to the cost of a small truck. If buying a used forklift, be certain to have it inspected for potential mechanical issues.

There are two different types of forklift motor: internal combustion or electric. Forklifts with electric motors are typically more pricey 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 motor that is big costs a lot more than a forklift with a smaller motor.

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