Project Summary

The project work “Battery operated forklift” is aimed to control through wired communication. The main advantage of using this technology is to increase the safety of operator by operating the forklift from certain distance. This increases the efficiency of the productivity, because human errors due to the poor visibility can be minimized. The system is designed and developed successfully, for the demonstration purpose prototype model (mini model) is constructed. Most of all human safety is a major concern’s by using a remote controlled forklift.

Project Objectives

Pedal and rope operated fork lift consists of frame made up of steel bars which are welded together to form a structure. The wheels are provided at the front and back for the movement of fork lift wheels are connected to front axle. Chain and sprocket mechanism are provided for the forward and backward movement of forklift which is placed at back side.

Project Implementation Method

Different components used in this project are as given below:-
BASE(CHASSIS):-

1. ? The chassis is fabricated from mild steel.
2. ? This is done for ease of fabrication, and to reduce the overall weight.
3. ? The chassis was designed to take a static load of 3kg.
4. ? The flange which holds the motor was designed using Aluminum and is bolted to the chassis.
5. ? So that the driving motors can easily accommodate below the chassis.

SLIDER:-
It is a rectangular shaped which is in between two channels of Aluminum which slides up and down easily to lift and it lowers the load up to a desired limit by using rope which is connected to the DC Motor.

SHAFT:-

1. ? A shaft is an element which transmits power.
2. ? The power is obtained to the shaft by tangential force and various machines are linked to the shaft due to this resultant force is setup.
3. ? Pulleys, gears, etc., are mounted on shaft, so that power is transferred from one place to other
4. ? Bending of shaft occurs due to the force exerted and other member present on it.

NYLON ROPE:-
A nylon rope is used because it withstands certain load The rope transmits power by means of pulleys which rotate at a speed.
The power transmitted depends upon the following factors:

1. ? The velocity of rope.
2. ? The tension under which the rope is placed on the pulleys.
3. ? The condition under which the rope is used.

PULLEYS:-

• ? Transmission of power takes place from one point to other by means of pulley with belt or rope.
• ? The velocity ratio is the inverse ratio of the diameter of the driving and driven pulleys .so, selection of pulley diameter is done precisely to have a desired velocity.
• ? To allow the belt or rope to travel in a normal to pulley then the pulley must be in perfect alignment.
• DC MOTOR:-
• ? Electric energy is converted into mechanical energy by a motor.
• ? It works on the principle of Fleming’s left hand rule that mechanical force is experienced when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field.

PEDAL:-
Pedal is used for the movement of the forklift, when the operator pedals, the pedal connected to the chain and gear box starts rotating due to which interconnected flywheel in the wheel starts to rotate by this forklift moves forward or backward.
WORM WHEEL:-
This material is made up of cast steel, crank pulley rotates the worm. Gear with chain is connected to the fork frame to lift the load. It is also called as worm gear.

Benefits of the Project

Forklift trucks are vehicles designed to move and stack heavy or bulky goods. They are mainly used in warehouses, stockyards and other storage areas. Forklift trucks are highly mobile with a very small turning circle which allows them to move easily in confined spaces. On the front of the truck are two forks operated by hydraulics. The driver must fit these forks into the pallets on which goods are stored. The operator then uses the hydraulic forks to lift the pallet, takes it to where it is needed and sets it down.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Forklift trucks are vehicles designed to move and stack heavy or bulky goods. They are mainly used in warehouses, stockyards and other storage areas. Forklift trucks are highly mobile with a very small turning circle which allows them to move easily in confined spaces. On the front of the truck are two forks operated by hydraulics. The driver must fit these forks into the pallets on which goods are stored. The operator then uses the hydraulic forks to lift the pallet, takes it to where it is needed and sets it down. Some goods, such as bricks, can be moved by fork-lift trucks without the need for pallets. They are stacked in bales with spaces for the forks. The operator must work carefully as these goods are not protected by pallets. Some trucks are fitted with small computer display panels that direct the operator where to place goods in the warehouse. Operators may also have to keep records and follow instructions written on a worksheet. They are also responsible for the basic maintenance of the truck. This includes greasing or oiling parts and changing or recharging the battery. Forklift truck operators may have to work in a noisy and dusty environment. Working outdoors in all weather conditions may also be necessary. Industrial lift trucks are used for handling materials, parts, products, tools, equipment, supplies and maintenance items. Forklifts are efficient for material handling because they are self-propelled, maneuverable and require only one operator to lift, transport, and stack or un-stack the material. Forklifts may be used for indoor or outdoor use depending on their size, tyres and load capacities. The major factors that lead to injuries involving the use of forklifts include unsafe driving and material handling practices. Although the term 'forklift', 'fork lift', or 'fork truck' is instantly recognizable, their full, official title is a Fork Lift Truck, due to the fork shaped tool at the front that traditionally was used to lift pallets. But now, like any other piece of equipment, the forklift has evolved and is available in a wide variety of styles, with varying functions and capacities, depending on where and how they are to be used. All lift truck operators must be trained prior to operating a lift truck. Training is provided by the concern manufacturer and consists of both formal instruction and practical training. Training is both vehicle- and workplace-specific. The training is a one-time requirement unless the operator is involved in a lift truck accident or is observed operating the truck in an unsafe manner. Industrial lift trucks must be inspected prior to each day of service. A daily inspection checklist must be completed and any defects should be reported and corrected immediately. A truck may not be placed into service if any defects are found during the inspection.
