Motors for MEWPs & Access Platforms
At MAXA Group, we supply motors for MEWPs and access platforms that keep drive, steer, and lift functions running when a machine won't move under its own power.
Choose electric motors for battery-powered platforms or hydraulic motors for oil-driven drive and lift circuits. Replace worn motor brushes to stop arcing and power loss, and fit new motor controls to restore smooth, accurate operation.
Pair motor work with hydraulics for access to check the wider circuit, service engine parts on combustion machines, and inspect electrical connections for related faults. All motors and spares are in UK stock for fast delivery.

Motors FAQs
What does a drive motor do on an access platform?
A drive motor powers the machine's movement. If a platform won't move under its own power, the drive motor and its controls are a common place to check.
What is the difference between electric and hydraulic motors?
Electric motors are powered by the battery system, while hydraulic motors are driven by the hydraulic system. Access platforms may use either, depending on the machine and function.
What are motor brushes and why do they wear?
Motor brushes carry current within many electric motors and wear over time with use. Worn brushes can affect performance and are a common replacement item.
Why won't my platform drive or steer?
Common causes include a worn motor, worn brushes, a faulty control or an electrical supply issue. Checking the motor and its controls helps identify the problem.
Can motor controls be replaced separately?
Yes. Motor controls can usually be replaced separately to restore correct operation without replacing the motor itself.
Do you supply motors to suit different machines?
We supply motors and motor parts to suit a range of access platforms. Confirming the part suits your machine helps ensure the right fit.
How can I extend the life of an electric motor?
Keeping the electrical system in good order, replacing worn brushes promptly and avoiding overloading all help support reliable motor performance.
