Electic Motors for a tool barrow
(OP)
Hi Guys,
Not sure if this is in the right place but here goes, I am trying to motorized my tool barrow as I am getting tired of dragging it up and down the factory and I wondering if anyone can give me any advice on the type of motor I could use (type? brand? where is comes from? anything really would help and I am willing to dismantle something else to get the motor out).
I don't need a great deal of speed but its going 2 be moving quite a weight, also I was going to power it using a car battery or 2 (again only ideas). The barrow stands 8inchs off the ground so anything smaller than around 6inch tall would be best as I want to mount it under the barrow, directly behind the front wheels.
Thanks for all the help,

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

you can get these things used on craigslist for about $20/ea including the controller if you look around a bit. I actually have two of these motors w/controllers in my hobby bin at the moment (was originally going to make a high speed "power wheels" for my older kid - a few years back)

350w Unite Brushed Motor for Electric Bike or Scooter
Model MY016
Voltage 36 Volts DC
Output: 350W
Rated Current 12.8 Amps
Rated Speed 2750 RPM
What do people think? is it to much for what I want? also I have been looking around for batteries and I've found a lot of 36v ones but they only pull 2.5aH and considering the rating for this motor is 12.8 I am assuming they won't do at all, can anyone give me any advice on the sort of battery I would need or should I reconsider the motor completely and look for say a 12v with a higher aH but I feel that without a high amount of gear-age (and I don't really have enough space under the barrow to put it) a 12v won't really work,
thanks for all the help again,
