Project Summary

Now a days the weight lifting and transportation accross the warehouse, industries or storage is a tedious and labour intensive task. We propose a 2 wheel drive minifork lift which will be a fast, efficient and low power consumption vehicle which will not require much space to move around. The mini forklift will be able to run on 2 DC motors and will be able to drive small weight with pickup arrangement across small distances easily.

Project Objectives

In this project we investigate a forklift design that is new and different from existing design. The new design offers two features:

1. The forklift attached to the frame body end.

2. A novel lifting mechanism by lead screw where it is easy to lift and more compact as compared to the existing designs. 

3. Highly  stable and safe under different working condition.

Project Implementation Method

The wheel shaft is connected with arrangement of a motor. This motor is used to run the vehicle, powered by Battery which is connected to the motor. The motor is connected to the worm gear to increase the torque and is directly coupled to the wheel by means of a bearing block which runs the vehicle. Motor is controlled by the control unit. In front of the Segway the forklift arrangement is mounted. The lead screw is used lift the fork and used to move up and down. The most important consideration of designing a fork lifts is the safety, while the fork lifts is during the loading and moving stability system consists of 3 point of contacts, 2 front wheel drives and supporting the real wheel contact axle arranged on safety mount. 

Benefits of the Project

• Easily Attachable & Detachable
• Industrial Goods Transport
• Warehouse Internal Transport

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Factories, industries and storages needs forklifts and cranes for storage and moving large goods. There are a number of goods weighing around 40 – 60 kgs that are comparatively lighter but cannot be moved around easily by human labor. To fill this need we here propose a 2 wheel drive forklift to lift and transport such medium weight goods across factories & industrial warehouses. The 2 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 2 dc motors and can drive small weight with pickup arrangement across small distances easily. For this we use a mini 2 wheel vehicle body frame designed with a platform with 2 motorized wheel mounts. It has a perpendicular handle ahead to hold on as well as take turns. We will design a forklift  mechanism on the front handle of vehicle using 2 bent metal strips for lifting. The lift mechanism comprises of large rotating chain mechanism which is connected to a high power motor. We will mount the control circuitry on the vehicle with wireless controllers that allow the vehicle to be controlled by the operator or it can also be operated  remotely from 5-6 meters range. Thus we provide a remote controlled forklift for small goods transportation in industrial sector. The final product will be able to  lift 10 – 20 kgs for demonstration purpose.
