T-Motor Heavy-Lift Motors
45 products
T-Motor's heavy-lift motors power survey, mapping, agriculture and cinema multirotors, where efficiency at cruise and thousands of hours of bearing life matter more than punch. This page collects every T-Motor in our Heavy-Lift Motors range: Antigravity motors for efficient 4S–6S camera platforms, the Navigator and MN series for industrial and agricultural airframes, the U15 II for large payloads, and the Airgear combo sets for quick builds. Pick by the thrust per motor you need at hover, then match KV to the pack voltage and prop size the maker's thrust table specifies.
How to choose a heavy-lift motor
Heavy-lift motors are sized backwards from the airframe: total weight, divided by motor count, doubled for a safe hover at 50% throttle, gives the thrust per motor you need. T-Motor publishes thrust tables per motor, prop and voltage — use them rather than KV alone.
- Antigravity MN4004 300KV and MN4006 380KV: 4S–6S on props of around 13–15 inches, for lightweight 1.5–3kg camera quads; sold in pairs.
- Antigravity MN6007 II 320KV (6S) and MN7005 115KV (12S): larger props for heavier survey and cinema platforms; take the exact prop from T-Motor's thrust table.
- MN4112 420KV and Navigator MN501-S 300KV: mid-size industrial motors; the Navigator is waterproof for agriculture and coastal use.
- MN805-S IP45 150KV and U15 II 100KV: 12S+ motors for heavy multirotors and large fixed-wing UAVs, with sealed construction.
- Airgear 450 II combo: motors, ESCs and props matched for a 450-class quad in one box.

Compatibility
Use T-Motor's specified prop and voltage for each motor; running a 12S motor on 6S or over-propping a 6S motor wastes efficiency and cooks the windings. Pair each motor with an ESC rated for the pack voltage and 1.3× the motor's max current — T-Motor's Alpha and Flame ESCs are the maker's own match, and Hobbywing X-Rotor ESCs are common alternatives.
Check the motor's mount pattern against your arm mounts and its prop adapter against your props before ordering; T-Motor lists both for every motor.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I size a heavy-lift motor?
- Divide the drone's take-off weight by the motor count, then double it for hover at 50% throttle. Find that thrust on T-Motor's table for the motor, prop and voltage. For a 4kg quad you need about 2kg of thrust per motor.
- What is the T-Motor Antigravity series?
- High-efficiency motors with thin, high-pole-count stators for camera platforms: long flight times at moderate payloads. MN4004 and MN4006 suit lighter 4S–6S quads on props of around 13–15 inches; MN6007 and MN7005 suit larger, heavier frames.
- Which ESC goes with T-Motor heavy-lift motors?
- One rated for your pack voltage with 30% headroom over the motor's maximum current: T-Motor Alpha or Flame ESCs, or Hobbywing X-Rotor series. Heavy-lift ESCs are single, one per motor.
