Another crazy question... I needed to make an elevator for my new shop. Mostly to lift equipment to the upper level. I see that electric fork-lifts are dirt-cheap because the battery and charger repl

I don't know a lot about forklifts, other than the part time job I had when I was a kid. However, I know they run on batteries so are likely DC motors, and probably draw a lot of current. It might ta
