What is cheap? You might find a friend junking a car and get an electric window motor or an electric wiper motor for free.
What power and speed? Turning 20kgs gives no information on motor requirements. How far and how often do you want? Do you want to reverse the motor?
Does mounting the motor matter?
Can you fabricate all the mechanism, except the motor?
Are motion limit switches needed? How quickly does the motor need to stop?
Are you going to use an extension cord to a power supply for the motor?
