 ABSTRACT

This project aims at developing a mechanism for easy transportation of heavy

loads over stairs. In the light of this, the project attempts to design a stair
climbing hand cart which can carry heavy objects up the stairs with less effort
compared to carrying them manually. Several designs were conceived that
would allow a non-industrial hand trolley to travel over stairs, curbs, or uneven
terrain while reducing the strain on the use the labor cost can be reduce as well
as large amount of load can be transfer uniformly with less power
consumption thus our project introduces the new alternative for transportation
of load over the stairs. It has designed in such a way that it can be climb a
stepped path with its modified wheel structure.

 INTRODUCTION

• Lifting heavy objects to upper stories or lifting patients to upper levels from the
ground are not painless jobs, especially where there are no lifting facilities
(elevator, conveyer, etc).
• Moreover, most of the buildings are structurally congested and do not have
elevators or escalators.
• The project introduces a new option for the transportation of loads over the stairs.
The stair climbing hand cart can play an important role in those areas to lift loads
over a short height.
• The mechanical design process by definition defines a device that will carry out a
specified task when appropriate inputs are given. In reality, however, this
definition provides a tunnel-vision view into the world of design.

 TYPES OFTROLLEY

• Single Platform Trolleys

• Double Platform Trolley
• Wire Mesh Trolley
• Component Trolley
• Material Handling Trolleys

4
 SINGLE PLATEFROM TROLLEY

• We have carved a niche for ourselves in manufacturing a wide gamut of

handheld platform trolleys which find usage in various commercial and industrial
applications.
•These are designed and developed using
premium quality raw materials and state-of-
the-art manufacturing facilities in our
infrastructure.

 DOUBLE PLATEFROM TROLLEY

• We have carved a niche for ourselves in manufacturing a wide gamut of

Handheld Platform Trolleys which find usage in various commercial and
industrial applications.
•These are designed and developed using premium quality
raw materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities
in our infrastructure. Our corrosion resistant trolleys are
durable, rigid in construction and require low maintenance.

6
 WIRE MESH PLATEFROM TROLLEY

• We are committed in offering our clients an advanced range of Wire Mesh

Trolley that is manufactured from superior quality materials and are widely used
to carry loads in diverse industrial applications
• These are reckoned by our domestic clients owing to their dimensional
accuracy, high mechanical strength,
rugged construction and durable finish standard

 CALCULATION

W1= weight of objects to be carried

W2= weight of the hand cart
Re = reaction force on one side
F = force applied (on one lever)
R = 18 cm
k= 14.5 cm
R = 18 cm
k= 14.5 cm
11
When we assume F to be 10 kgf, we get W= 66.67kgf
Length of the shaft= l
Span of forces = a (distance between A and B)
B.M at A = Re cosφ x (l/2 - a/2) cw
B.M at B = Re cosφ x (l/2 - a/2) ccw
The critical section is identified to be the middle section.
(Mb) max = Resinφ . (l/2) + Fsinθ . (a/2) σmax
= (Mb)max/ Z
12
If W1 = 67 kg W2 = 20 kg
l= 38 cm
a= 33 cm
F=100 N Θ = 450
n= 60

13
From (2)
Re = 75 N Φ= -21.050
Therefore, (Mb) max = 6550 N mm
Solving we get,
Shaft diameter, d = 25.4 mm

 ADVANTAGES

• This project is more Economical.

• This is more efficient.
• The stair climbing is suitable to almost all stairs.
• Stair climbing ability with a less power consumption.
• Compared to other wheel load carrier the effort required is less with
this type.
• This load carrier makes it possible to move unit loads cost effectively,
safely and ergonomically.
15
 APPLICATIONS

• The stair climbing is used for material handling.

• This mechanism can be used as stair climbing mechanism for material
handling.
• It can be used in transportation of luggage from one floor to another
on stairs in hotels, malls, hospital etc.
• It can be used in building construction.

 CONCLUSION

Though this project had some limitations regarding the strength and
built of the structure, it can be considered to be a small step forward,
as far Stair Climbing Vehicles are concerned. During the test run of this
project, it was realized that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider this
design for carrying heavy loads up the stairs. This product will be well
acclaimed if it can be commercialized to suit the needs. Though the
initial cost of the project seemed to be higher but more accurate
manufacturing would shorten this.
