Used forklift parts for an electric car conversion

Most of the components used to build the ForkenSwift came from an old forklift: a decomissioned mid-1980's Baker FTD-110 (a 16,600 lb beast) that we bought, stripped of all its electric/electronic components, and then sold the carcass to a metal recycler.

Since doing this project, now when I see an electric forklift I think, 'EV conversion kit in a box!' A really, really heavy box. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. (Seriously - it didn't come with the forklift battery, which would have weighed another 3,000 lbs.)

Here's the loot we salvaged from the Baker
What parts did we use in the car?
Why didn't we use the forklift motor controller?
Where did we get the idea to use old forklift parts for an electric car?
How much did it cost? (Would you believe $34.95?)

Here's the loot we salvaged from the Baker:

Clockwise from top..

a bunch of 2/0, 3/0 and other cables & control wiring harness;
a box of miscellaneous goodies (motor controller manuals, lights, switches, gauges, horn, beeper, etc.);
Square D Co. direction lever (electrical direction switch);
Square D pot box (including potentiometer with high & low position microswitches);
two 8 inch diameter, 110 lbs, series wound DC pump motors and two pumps (above);
12 inch dia, 220 lbs, series wound DC traction motor;
6 inch .88 hp rated continuous duty permanent magnet steering motor & pump;
GE EV-1 SCR motor controller, plus control panel (fuses, contactors, bus bars);

What parts did we use in the car?

Much of the 2/0, 3/0 cabling; the pot box; one of the 8 inch pump motors; the corresponding shaft from one of the hydraulic pumps (in the motor/tranny adapter), contactors, fuses, bus bars.

See the complete list of components used for the conversion.

We ended up selling the main traction motor to another EV builder. The 'twin' pump motor we still have on hand as a spare, should we ever need it (unlikely, but why not).

Why didn't we use the forklift's motor controller?

Click to zoom. GE control panel: EV-1 SCR controller (top right), plus 7 contactors, 4 fuses, and field weakening resistor (top left).

We also still have the original General Electric EV-1 controller (not to be confused with General Motors fantastic EV1 electric car).

Why didn't we use this controller in the car?

Mostly because I learned from the EVDL that an 'old style' SCR (silicon controlled resistance) controller isn't really an ideal match for a small battery pack, such as in the ForkenSwift. I won't try to explain the details (mostly because I'd only be parroting what I've read from smarter people), but it has to do with the lack of built-in capacitance in the EV-1, which is harder on a few golf cart batteries than it is on a gigantic forklift battery.

Don't misunderstand: the EV-1 will work in a car. (You can find many examples of older conversions & OEM vehicles in the EV Album that use them.) But it may not be as efficient as a more modern mosfet-based PWM controller (Curtis, Altrax, etc.). Also, it's somewhat more complicated to install & set up. So we went with a Curtis controller.
