Forklift is a small industrial vehicle, having a power operated forked platform attached at the front that can be raised and lowered for insertion under a cargo to lift or move it. Forklifts serve the needs of various industries including warehouses and other large storage facilities.
Forklifts are powered by electric battery or combustion engines. Some Forklifts allow the operators to sit while driving and operating the machine while others require the operator to stand. It is being extensively used throughout the industry for transporting materials and goods. Also 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. Also we design a forklift type mechanism on the front handle of vehicle using 2 bent metal strips and lifting mechanism. The lift mechanism comprises of large rotating chain mechanism. This mechanism is connected to a high power motor. We now mount the control circuitry on the vehicle with wireless controllers that allow the vehicle to be controlled by person on it as well as by operating it remotely from 5-6 meters range. Thus we provide a remote controlled forklift for small goods transportation in industrial sector.For more details https://www.skooltek.in/technical-courses/
