ruttkowb · 07-15-2009, 08:33 PM

I have an old Yale 3600 lbs forklift with a 9" x 14" (or so..?) electric motor. The forklift runs on 36 Volt. Before I take the forklift apart I would like to know if that motor can be converted for using in an electric car. That means it should run at least on 96V and should develop decent horsepower. Can anyone identify the motor based on the forklift(size) and some pictures I will try to attach?
Thanks, Bernd
P.S. Do I post in the right category?
