Design and Manufacturing of Human Operated Forklift for Small Scale Industry

Abstract

Mechanical forklift is a new and improved technique utilized in mechanical industry line. Forklift lift or handle more material and transfer one place to another place. Since of forklift it is possible that a one operator is adequate for material handling. When technology is enhanced advance forklift was established, they operate with the help of remotes it necessitates an electricity as well as a cost of remote-controlled forklift is high so that a human powered forklift is establish. In today’s time, there is a broad variety of forklifts, from the large heavy loading truck to the one that works among narrow aisles. Forklifts have become one of the basic transportation tools we use in our lives. With all the forklifts in presence, we find that there are some enhancements that can be made to bring the forklift to a better performance. The main aim of our project is to design and develop forklift which will lift the load and then it will transfer the load from one place to another place. In this new era small scale industries are going toward high quality of product with minimum cost also they are trying to reduce the material handling cost to increase the overall profit. So, for effective material handling human operated forklift would be the excellent option to reduce energy consumption and a lot. It has enormous advantages over others. The 3D model was sketched with the help of CATIA model. The experimental testing was carried out. The result and conclusion were drawn after making the experimental testing.
