Design and Fabrication of Three Wheeler Drive Forklift for Industrial Warehouses (original) (raw)
–-Mechanical forklift is an improved and advance technology that helps brought about revolution in the mechanical industries today all heavy engineering company uses it. Widespread use of the forklift truck had revolutionized warehousing practices before the middle of the 20th century. A mixture of material handling systems is in the use, exact from that entirely physical to the ones that are semi-automatic but manually controlled. Forklifts have revolutionized warehouse work. They made it possible for one person to move 100 kg at once. Well-maintained and safely operated forklifts make lifting and transporting cargo infinitely easier. This is the general description of a normal forklift truck.. In the warehouses forklifts are the most expensive machines. The study pays special attention to the travelling of these machines. Factories, industries and storage go downs need forklifts and cranes for storage and moving large goods. Also there are a number of goods weighing around 40 – 60 kg that are comparatively lighter but cannot be moved around easily by human labour. To fill this need we here propose a three wheel drive forklift to lift and transport such medium weight goods across factories & industrial warehouses. The three wheel drive is a fast, efficient and low power consumption vehicle that does not require much space to move around. The mini forklift will run on a hub motor and can drive small weight with pickup arrangement across small distances easily. For this we use a mini three wheel vehicle body frame designed with a platform with motorized wheel mounts. It has a perpendicular handle ahead to hold on as well as take turns. To make the project work more realistic, much importance is given for practical orientation, therefore a prototype module is constructed for the demonstration purpose. This module simulates the real working system & based on this technology with slight changes in the structure & motor ratings, the system can be converted for real applications.
