Electrical Electronics Engineering | Industrial Physics | Physics

The design and manufacturing of a two-wheeled hydraulic forklift represent a complex engineering undertaking that involves integrating various components to achieve optimal functionality. A hydraulic forklift is a specialized material handling equipment designed for lifting and transporting heavy loads. The key elements in this innovative machinery include a robust frame, hydraulic systems, steering mechanism, and durable wheels. The hydraulic system, comprising a pump, cylinder, and valves, plays a fundamental role in facilitating precise and controlled lifting and lowering of loads. The design process necessitates a meticulous consideration of load capacity, stability, and maneuverability, ensuring that the forklift meets the specific requirements of diverse industrial applications. Additionally, the manufacturing phase involves the meticulous assembly of components, rigorous quality control measures, and adherence to safety standards to guarantee the reliable performance of the two-wheeled hydraulic forklift in demanding operational environments. This engineering feat combines precision, durability, and efficiency, culminating in a sophisticated material handling solution tailored to address the challenges of modern industries.

ABSTRACT

A fork-lift carrier for transporting long heavy loads, having adjust width for accommodating various size loads and for compacting the carrier for storage. The adjustable width allows the carrier to negotiate relatively narrow passages. A high degree of maneuverability is achieved by utilization of independently driven and steered traction wheels. Raising and lowering of loads is accomplished by motorized operated forklift mechanisms disposed on either side of the carrier. Operation of the carrier is controlled by a handheld control unit. A load carrying arrangement for a lift truck includes two spaced apart hollow upright elongated members which are mounted on a mounting element that is displaceable mounted on the frame of the truck, and at least one load-engaging attachment which has at least one load-engaging portion and two mounting portions introducible into the interiors of the corresponding upright members through the open ends thereof to mount the load-engaging attachment on the upright members and thus on the mounting element. Fixing elements, such as pins or bolts extending through aligned bores in the upright members and in the mounting portions, position ally fix the mounting portions within the corresponding upright members. The attachment may be constituted by a pair of fork prongs each of which has a load-engaging portion and a mounting portion which is introducible either into the open upper end or into the lower end of the respective upright member, or a container spreader whose load-engaging portion is adapted to engage a container and whose mounting portions are introducible into the upper open ends of the upright members & turn on 180-degree motio

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

A forklift or a lift truck (also known as counter balanced truck) is a powered industrial vehicle, a truck to be specific, which enables the lifting, shifting and movement of materials from one place to another in an industry. Its primary applications are in warehouses, shops and construction sites, wherein it is used for the transshipment of goods. The earliest forklift truck was invented between 1914 and 1915 and put on the market since 1930s. The widespread usage of forklift started in the period of World War II as a result of the surge in the demand of transporting military materials. After the World War II, maneuverable forklifts found its integral role in warehouses, for lifting the goods to heights. To cater the needs of the warehouse sector, suitable modifications were made in the design framework of the forklift; a remarkable one being the development of Electric forklifts that were powered by batteries which required frequent charging. Forklifts can be electric powered or diesel powered. Electric forklifts are ideal to be used in areas with lesser ventilation because they are quiet and do not exhaust. Electric forklifts have lower operating costs than diesel operated ones. However, their lifting capacity is limited to 3000 kg. Their batteries can take as long as 16 hours to charge and cool off, and have a slower acceleration than the trucks those run on diesel. Diesel powered forklifts were apparently used outdoors due to production of exhaust gases. They cost less than electric forklifts to buy, but they have higher ongoing costs, as they need frequent refueling. It is capable of lifting weights in the range 1000-25000 Kg’s, which makes them ideal for heavy-industry situations and under in all types of weather.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

This machine to overcome the problems in existing forklifts design which has its limitation in rotation and structures has potential safety risk our new design as 90 degrees rotating forks attached to truck body on both ends .also it has a scissor lift under the operator cabin which improves the stability fork and the mechanization reduces the human efforts and manpower.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main aim of this study is to build a two wheeled hydraulic forklift. The objectives are:

To look over a forklift model that are entirely different from existing model.
To build a wheeled hydraulic forklift that the forklift mounded to the frame body.

The new lifting mechanism by lead screw where it is easy to lift and more compact.

And to make sure it is stable and safe under different working condition we keep observe and calculate always.

1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The scope of this work is to build a two wheeled hydraulic forklift. Following these are the major system consists functional forklift.

The power system
Control system
Loading system
Driving system

In this design we only consider the loading system instead of power, driving and control system. We only provide basic information because power system will be introduced in the driving system.

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

In this design the operator but need to be closer and complex human supervision. If consistency and close supervision is not provided, there might be costly process error will occur. So, automation process will eliminate the error and human interface by taking full control over the operations of the mechanize equipment and provides a consistency through the process control system and strong the instrumentation built in the system.

1.6 ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS

Advantages
- Ease of maintenance (including checking and cleaning).
- Easy for
- Ease of lifting the loaded light
- Ease of
- Ease of replacement of any
- A clean, green, eco-friendly machine.
Disadvantages
- Time consumption is
- Initial cost is
Applications
- It is also used in the small-scale
- It can be used in the industries, factories
- In factories and storage go downs, for storage and transshipment of large
- Movement of light goods weighing 40-80 Kg’s, which is cumbersome by human labor.

A Two Wheel Drive Forklift is used for this purpose as it is fast, efficient, has lesser power consumption and requires lesser space for its movement.
