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. 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. In
warehouses small goods cannot moved around easily by any human body, so to fill
this need we have propose a 2 wheel forklift to lift and transport such medium weight
goods. It is a fast, efficient and low power consumption vehicle that does not require
much space to move around.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Factories, industries and storage go downs need forklifts and cranes for storage and
moving large 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.

SOLUTION

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.

OBJECTIVE

 Using two wheel drive forklift to simplify driving experience.

 To make effective loading/ unloading of object.
 To make operations environment friendly.
 To reduce cost of operation by substituting fossil fuel engine.
 Increase safety at work.
 Increase accuracy of work.
 INTRODUCTION

In general the forklift can be defined as a tool capable of lifting hundreds of kilograms. A forklift
is a vehicle similar to a small truck that has two metal forks on the front used to lift cargo. The
forklift operator drives the forklift forward until the forks push under the cargo, and
can then lift the cargo several feet in the air by operating the forks. The forks, also known as
blades or tines, are usually made out of steel and can lift up to a few tons.

Forklifts are either powered by gasoline, propane, or electricity. Electric forklifts

relay on batteries to operate. Gasoline or propane forklifts are sometimes stronger or faster than
electric forklifts, but they are more difficult to maintain, and fuel can be costly. Electric forklifts
are great for ware house use because they do not give off noxious fumes like gas powered
machines do.

Forklifts are most often used in warehouses, but some are meant to be used outdoors. The vast
majority of rough terrain forklifts operate on gasoline, but some use diesel or natural gas. Rough
terrain forklifts have the highest lifting capacity of all forklifts and heavy duty tires
(like those found on trucks), making it possible to drive them on uneven surfaces outdoors.

It is important for forklift operators to follow all safety precautions when using a forklift. Drivers
should be careful not to exceed the forklift’s weight capacity. Forklift operators also need to be
able to handle forklift’s rear wheel steering. Driving a forklift is similar to driving a car in reverse,
meaning that the driver must constantly steer to keep it moving in a straight line. The
driver must be aware of the forklift’s ever-changing center of gravity and avoid making any
quick sharp turns or going too fast. It is advisable that anyone who operates a forklift be fully
trained and licensed.

Forklift shave 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.

WHY FORKLIFT?

 The forklifts are generally used for moving heavy goods and supplies from one place to
another quickly and with less effort.
 The forklifts are small but compact machines, designed to work in tight and narrow areas.
 The best thing is that you can choose a forklift with the right configuration and capacity
depending on your needs.
 One advantage of the forklifts is that they are capable to reach things located on high locations.
 Without these machines, the warehouses would not be able to operate efficiently and with
easiness.
 They perform Eco-friendly operation and has Longer life.

Pargunde, “Design and Fabrication of Universal Driving Wheel with the
application of Forklift: A Review”, This paper gives the review of different
article paper which includes the design of different universal wheels, their
specifications, kinematic analysis etc. Universal driving wheel is a centered
wheel with angled rollers around the periphery of the wheel which enables the
load carrier to shift sideways as well as diagonally without changing the direction
of the wheel. Conventional wheels’ drawbacks are overcome by designing of the
universal driving wheel which can perform the task with the more efficiency and
less space constraints. Universal driving wheel allows vehicle to move at any
degree translation when moving at a certain speed and rotation direction. It is a
low cost proto type model which allows high mobility in complex environment.

Warehouse Management in the context of Supply Chain Management”, In
supply chain management, modern warehousing firms and distribution centers
are overwhelmed with information related to the flows and storage of goods and
services. The efficient and effective utilization of logistics-related information
can enhance firms' ability to reduce costs while simultaneously improving
customer satisfaction. Warehouse management systems (WMS) are frequently
implemented and used with these goals in mind. The current research examines
resource-based empirical justification for the pursuit and implementation of
WMS. The effective and efficient management of any organization requires that
all its constituent elements operate effectively and efficiently as individual SBUs
/ facilities and together as an integrated whole corporate. In today’s competitive
market environment companies are continuously forced to improve their
warehousing operations. Many companies have also customized their value
proposition to increase their customer service levels, which has led to changes in
the role of warehouses. This paper highlights the findings of the study to evaluate
performance levels and enhance productivity of the warehouses by developing a
WMS various distribution and to analyse the impact of effective and efficiency
warehousing on competitive strength, enhanced preservation & control and
overall cost reduction and also to find out various factors affecting efficiency and
effectiveness of warehouse system.

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

 3 Wheel Drive Forklift For Industrial Warehouse, “Rajat Rajendra Wade,

Digvijay K. Take, Mahesh S. Deshmukh, Pranaw A. Raut”, In today's life,
there's a good type of forklifts, from the big significant loading truck to the one
 that works among slim aisles. Forklifts have become one in all the fundamental
transportation tools we tend to use in our lives. With all the forklifts in existence,
we discover that their square measure some enhancements that can be created to
bring the self-propelled vehicle to a much better performance. Mechanical fork
raise is associate improved and advance technology that helps caused revolution
at intervals the mechanical industries these days all important engineering
company uses it. Widespread use of the wheeled vehicle truck had revolutionized
deposition practiced before the centre of the 20th century. a mix of cloth handling
system is at intervals the employment, actual from that entirely physical to people
who unit of measurement semi-automatic but manually controlled. self-propelled
vehicle has revolutionized warehouse work. They created to achievable for one
person to manoeuvre thousands of pounds promptly. Well maintained and safely
operated forklifts build lifting and transporting freight infinitely easier. this may
be the ultimate description of a conventional wheeled vehicle truck. To enhances
the technology any, this image module is created with remote technology, there
by the operator can walk at the facet of the wheeled vehicle for higher visibility
& the instrumentality area unit usually placed accurately (precision position). this
may increase the protection of the operator.

Prashant.D.Ingle, “Zero Degree Steering Forklift For Warehouse”, In
traditional steering mechanism involves traditional steering principle. Its
advantage is that it is very safe and even prime the propensity and balance of
vehicle at very high immediacy. But it can't be used at highly sharp steers (i.e.
steers at where vehicle has to rotate about an angle of 90 degree) or at steers
where there is not enough space for the car or automobile to rotate. This that is
arduousness connected with the traditional procedure of steering is completely
replaced by installing a four wheel steering mechanism. Four wheel steering is a
comparatively new technology, that imposes transport propensity in little cars,
sedan, SUV, heavy duties and other. In normal two wheels steering vehicles, the
rear mounted of wheels are consistently place forward therefore and do not
involves an engaging the function in regulating the steering in four wheel steering
mechanism the back wheel can steer left and right. To carry on the driving
regulation as without any difficulty as possible. The forklift cornering will
conduct itself become not easily upset and controllable at greater immediacy as
well as on wet less gripped road surfaces. The vehicle reaction to steering input
becomes faster and more accurate from starting to end the vehicle enter
immediacy range. By moving the rear wheels in the prolongation further side the
front wheels at slow immediacy, the car’s steering circle is greatly made little.
This action of the wheels enables the vehicle to steer circular, without moving
from the position, i.e. the forklift has zero steering radius.
 COMPONENTS

1. Lead Screw

 Lead screws are quiet, smooth, resistant to corrosion, self-lubricating, and

often less expensive.

 They are favored in situations that require higher levels of customization.

Because lead screws are virtually silent and vibration-free, they’re often
used for medical equipment like insulin pumps and in personal computing
devices like desktop PCs.

 Now, we use lead screw in our project i.e. up-down mechanism.

 Lead screws are self-locking; there is typically no need to apply additional

brakes, even in situations where you’re lifting a vertical load during an
electricity outage. However, the higher the friction is on the sliding surface,
the more power is required to drive the load up or forward.

 Material: Mild Steel

2. DC Motor

 A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts

direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common
types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields.

 Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either

electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of
current flow in part of the motor.

 DC motors were the first form of motor widely used, as they could be
powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems.

 A DC motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a

variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field
windings. Small DC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances.
 The universal motor can operate on direct current but is a
lightweight brushed motor used for portable power tools and appliances.

 Larger DC motors are currently used in propulsion of electric vehicles,

elevator and hoists, and in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent of
power electronics has made replacement of DC motors with AC
motors possible in many applications.
