I showed the photos of the forklift to my friend last night. He is an engineer for a manlift company.
He told me that the motors look pretty good. They appear to be good quality rebuilds, so they have had the cleaning, bearings re-done, etc.
He said that his company uses 9" Advanced DC motors running at 48 volts for their lift trucks.
He also recognized the charger. I don't remember what brand name he said it was, but he said it was a good one, and that $500 would be a great deal on the charger alone.
He also mentioned that because the motor has those big, open view ports for the brushes, the the motor will need to be protected from the weather with a belly pan or some other cover or enclosure.
