Used Caterpillar High Capacity Forklifts Huntington Beach

Forklift Motors
Buying a forklift is something you should think about carefully. A forklift is a huge capital expenditure, and a complex machine with a motor strong enough to carry out 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 buying a used forklift, be sure to have it inspected for possible mechanical issues.

The two kinds of forklift motors are: electric or internal combustion. Forklifts with electric motors are typically more expensive than those with internal combustion motors. The size of the motor must suit the type of work for which the forklift would be used. A forklift with a motor that is large costs more compared to one with a motor which is smaller.

Gasoline or propane powered motors are usually stronger than electric motor and are capable of lifting heavier weight. The downside is that gas motors tend to develop problems more frequently compared to electric motors. Depending upon the price of gas or propane, gas powered forklifts can be more expensive to operate compared to electric powered forklifts.

Some reliable manufacturers of forklifts are Mitsubishi Caterpillar, Crown Equipment Corp., Toyota Industries and NACCO Industries. Before deciding, research the different manufacturers and the availability of parts. Reviews, testimonials and prices could be found on-line.
