What he said ^ and to add to it --- most people refer to them as lathe motors because that's what they where originally designed for. Very high number of windings "turns". More Turns = lower RPMs with more torque.
In our trucks / equipment, that equates to a more manageble speed for operating more realisticly along with more power to move the heavy loads.
