 Abstract

Mechanical fork lift is an improved and advance technology that helps brought about
revolution in the mechanical industries today all heavy engineering company uses it.
Widespread use of the forklift truck had revolutionized warehousing practices before the
middle of the 20th century. A mixture of material handling systems is in the use, exact from
that entirely physical to the ones that are semi-automatic but manually controlled.

Forklifts have revolutionized warehouse work. They made it possible for one person to move
thousands of pounds at once. Well-maintained and safely operated forklifts make lifting and
transporting cargo infinitely easier. This is the general description of a normal forklift truck.
To enhances the technology further, this prototype module is constructed with remote
technology, there by the operator can walk along with the forklift for better visibility & the
container can be placed accurately (precision position). This increases the safety of the
operator.
