Electric motors for forklifts

AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) motors are two common types of electric motors used in forklifts. They each offer distinct advantages.

• AC motors provide swift and accurate control. That makes them ideal for applications requiring precise speed and direction changes. They're known for their high torque output and low maintenance needs.
• DC motors offer excellent acceleration and come in various sizes. They’re versatile and easy to install. DC motors are typically more cost-effective but need regular maintenance, such as replacing carbon brushes.

We also offer a wide range of spare parts for your electric motor. This includes all the parts to replace the carbon brushes on your DC motor, such as brushes, brush springs and brush holders. Other spare parts on offer include protective covers, fans, brakes, sensors and more.
