Test

Once rebuilding is complete, all rebuilt electric motors are tested to ensure that they will function as they were new. The forklift rebuilt motors might also have to pass various environmental tests so that they meet regulations for their particular application.

Painting

Rebuilt electric motors are often painted after testing, but this varies from one client to another. In some cases, forklift rebuilt motors are covered with a surface treatment of baking paint. Motor surface paint is a type of insulating paint used on the surface of motors. It has good adhesion to varnish, is durable, and can resist water, oil, and rust. The paint also resists foggy conditions and cold weather.

Final test

Once a rebuilt electric motor is finished, it can be tested in an application before being shipped out. No matter which method is used to rebuild the forklift electric motor, each must pass inspections before leaving the workshop so that only high-quality machinery is sent out to clients. Many rebuilt electric motors are returned to the workshop, given this final test is not carried out. The following video shows an electric motor rebuilding:
