They may not get enough cooling installed inside a generator case. I believe that's the reason that Ed Whitney makes his own cases and you only have to send him the front and back plates off your generator.

That alternator is most-likely only rated at 14 Amps. DD

A fork lift generally only has a rudimentary electrical system. They just need to charge the battery for the next start. It looks similar to some I've seen that replace a generator on an old Harley motorcycle.
