Design and Construction of a Forklift for MSME Material Handling
Abstract
Continuous material movement from
one workstation to another is necessary
for industrial processesThis is done
manually in most of the small-scale
industries due to the lack of high initial
investment in powered material
handling equipment and also the
increased maintenance costs of the
same. The efficient and timely flow of
materials decreases the time needed for
production as well as the transit time
across the factory floor, which leads to
higher output and profits.
The idea of a portable electric remote-
controlled forklift for the material
handling industries is the subject of this
research.
The proposed concept entails the
creation of a mobile, electric, remote-
controlled forklift that can also function
as a material handling forklift
attachment.
This contributes to higher industrial
production and is not simply
economical.
The Battery Operated fork lift is an
improved version of lifting and carrying
the load which needs to be transferred
from one place to another. This
advanced technology has brought a new
revolution in the mechanical industries
and most commonly used in heavy
Engineering companies. These forklift
vehicles had revolutionized ware-
housing practices used in the middle of
the 20th century. For a long time, semi-
automatic type of material handing
systems being used. In semi automatic
material handling, the system was
manually controlled. The design of
forklift has revolutionized warehouse
work and it is practicable for one person
to move hundreds of kilograms at once.
These well maintained and safely
operated forklift has made lifting and
transporting cargo items very easily.
The main purpose of this paper is to
design and fabricate a forklift machine
which is new and different from
existing designs. This designed forklift
uses a rechargeable battery which
means it is powered completely by
electricity. From the design of forklift, it
can be concluded that this machine is
capable of lifting a load of 100 Kgs.
The findings of this research show that
the designed machine can be used in
small scale industries.
