Chapter I
Introduction
In general, a hydraulic lifting trolley is a helpful instrument that can move heavy
items more easily and securely than other alternatives. These important components
work together to offer a solid and secure platform for the movement of these big
products, which in turn reduces the danger of injury to workers while simultaneously
enhancing productivity. Their some gaps the effect the present design. The hydraulic
trolley is built to transfer heave loads, but it was not intended for usage in areas with
rough roads, which might damage the equipment or the load carried.

The researcher needs to redesign the hydraulic trolley in order to make the most
of its capabilities, which will both boost the worker's output while preventing the
equipment from being damaged.

Statement of the problem

The purpose of this study was to redesign a hydraulic lifter trolley with shock
absorption and dampeners so that it can better protect equipment from shock impulses.
The aims of this study was to maximize the capabilities of the equipment so that the
trolley may be used on the rough road to address the problem with the local worker like
delivering express, market, etc... And also to seek answer below.

3. Will this equipment reduce the damage on the device

Objective of the study

The primary objective of the study was to gather data that shows how effectively
hydraulic trolleys perform when subjected to shock. Researchers are asked to develop
a layout that makes the most of the equipment's capabilities. This can help absorb the
 4

shock from bumpy roads, which otherwise might cause damage to the equipment as
well as the load being carried. This study aims to develop a shock absorption device
that can be installed on trolleys.

Chapter II

Review of Related Literature and Studies

The researcher looked at a variety of relevant studies and pieces of prior
research in order to determine the importance of the current study. The findings of those
studies and pieces of previous research are summarized in this chapter. In addition to
this, a review of the latest developments in the relevant field has been provided for the
reader's convenience. As a result of this, the reader will be able to comprehend the
research in its entirety and have a better overall comprehension of the study.

According to kyle Probert (2020). The lifting of the vehicle is accomplished with the
help of a hydraulic piston while utilising a hydraulic trolley jack. The jack has wheels,
which allow for it to be manoeuvred about easily and positioned underneath the vehicle
with relative ease. After the jack has been placed in its appropriate location, the user will
pump the handle in an upward and downward motion to engage the hydraulic piston.
This will cause the car to be raised off the ground.

There is a wide range of sizes and weight capacities available for hydraulic trolley jacks,
allowing them to work with a wide variety of vehicles. Because some jacks can raise as
much as three tons, they are ideally suited for use with larger vehicles such as SUVs
and trucks.

Because it enables mechanics to access locations under the vehicle that are otherwise
difficult to get to, having a hydraulic trolley jack in your auto garage can save you both
time and effort. It is absolutely necessary to purchase a jack of a high-quality and long-
lasting design that is capable of withstanding intense use and lasting for a number of
years.

According to Alžbeta Sapietova (2017). The safety mechanism that prevents

overloading of the trolley conveyor that collects metal chips can be easily adapted for
use with rake conveyors, which are predominantly utilised in the mechanical industry to
gather metal chips.
 7

The conveyor could be put to use in the non-mechanical industry for the transfer of
metal or non-metallic objects after undergoing the necessary changes.
A trolley conveyor that is equipped with a device to prevent overloading is suited
for use in situations in which there is a possibility that the conveyor will become
overloaded. These scenarios include the transportation of goods over greater distances
and situations in which a higher level of conveyor power is required. The conveyor can
also be utilised to transfer materials up and down hills if that becomes necessary. The
device that prevents overload, an independent function for each individual rake, and the
fact that the rakes move over the chips during backward movement are the three factors
that contribute to the aforementioned advantages.

According to Shahdara Lahore, Pakistan (2020). The fundamental platform trolleys

that we provide are quite useful and ideal for a wide variety of different kinds of
situations. If, on the other hand, you are working with certain materials or constraints,
you could find it useful to either purchase or subscribe to an expert platform trolley that
comes with additional functionality.

For example, our platform trolleys that can be nested inside one another are ideal for
locations with limited available storage space. Because of the platform's hinge, it is
simple to nest many carts together, which allows for more efficient storage when the
carts are not in use.

If you're going to be working outside, our flatbed garden trolley is an excellent

alternative to the normal platform trolley items, which are more suited for use inside. In
addition, the garden trolley was developed specifically for use outside, and it has large
wheels that are able to navigate the uneven surfaces that are common at outdoor
events such as music festivals, construction sites, and garden stores.

In addition, we stockpile a variety of useless aluminum trolleys, each of which can

accommodate a different amount of weight. In addition to that, these carts may be
 8

folded down into a relatively small footprint, which reduces the amount of storage space
required for them.

InternetWorksafe victoria. (2017). Mechanical aids are typically employed to assist

workers in making heavy item-handling activities more efficient and safe. Large
materials, such as sheet metals, can be handled by motorized and nonmotorized
mechanical aids in metal production industries. Forklift trucks, battery-powered trucks,
pallet converters, and drum rotators are examples of motorized mechanical aids. These
motorized mechanical devices may be more expensive to purchase and maintain.
Furthermore, they may necessitate specialized training and professional staff in order to
function. Furthermore, the size of motorized mechanical assistance is substantial, which
may limit their utility, particularly in small workshops with limited working space. As a
result of their tendency to be less expensive and smaller in size, nonmotorized
mechanical aids become an option.

Trolley problem
Joshua D. Greene(2017). The Trolley Problem is the result of a series of issues of
morality, the majority of which involve tradeoffs between causing one death and
avoiding several more deaths. The normative and descriptive Trolley Problems are
inseparable. The normative Trolley Problem presumes that authors' natural responses
to these circumstances are generally, if not uniformly, accurate. Thus, any attempt to
answer the normative Trolley Problem must first address the descriptive problem,
identifying the characteristics of behaviors that elicit moral approval or disapproval.

SHOCK ABSORBER
Nicole Palange(2018). According to the author, on bumpy roads, shock absorbers keep
your tires on the ground, allowing you to keep control of the vehicle. Typically, they are
made up of a series of cylinders, a piston that goes through the innermost cylinder, and
valves that measure the flow of fluid from one side of the piston to the other when there
are bumps in the road. Utilizing rubber bushings and bolts, shocks are fastened to the
vehicle and function as a link between the various suspension components. The
 9

suspension, like all other parts of your vehicle, will wear out over time and need to be
replaced.

Conclusion

According to the findings of the study mentioned above, it is possible to come to the
conclusion that the hydraulic trolley with shock is more effective in a urban terrain. This
design was developed with the intention of lowering the risk of damage to both the
equipment and the thing it was carrying.

There are many ideas from various field of mechanical engineering and to
improve yield and reduce labor and cost this whole concept of repetitive equipment is a
new innovation concept and can work effectively in real-life situation.

Introductory
This chapter is primarily concerned with the discussion of the research methods
and procedures that were adhered to by the research in order to answer systematically
the research method, population and sample, research instrument, data gathering
procedure, and statistical treatment of the data that was used for the accurate data
analysis and interpretation were explained in this chapter.

Data Gathering Procedures and Instrumentation

A method of distributive experimentation is used to get information. Through the
capability of the component, both qualitative and quantitative results will be shown, and
the researchers propose numerical values as results of observation. The findings of
proposed will be based on experiments.

Prototype Design

Design Parameters Consideration

The researcher uses a devise as a measurement to determine the maximum
capability of the trolley and suspension using weight scale and Vernier caliper in-terms
of millimeter. This allowed them to conclude that the redesign trolley equipment was
more effective in a rough road. The initial size of the shock is 3 inches.

Vernier caliper - use for measuring the size of the shock when subjected in rough road
to determine the change in size.

Weight scale - to determine the amount of load that can support the shock when
subjected to the rough road and to know the maximum capacity load of the trolley.

Design Evaluation and Testing

This was accomplished by subjecting the trolley to a weight test and measuring
the height of the shock in millimeters to determine the maximum stress capability of the
equipment. The modified trolley equipment was subjected to three trials, allowing the
researcher to collect the necessary data and examine the reaction as well as the
amount of shock in a rough road environment. The first test weighed 10 kilograms, the
second 30 kilograms, and the third 50 kilograms and observe the reaction of the
equipment.

Calculation
Calculation for the capacity load of shock for modified hydraulic trolley with shock
the researcher use the equation of “chen” to compute absorption One equation is
represented by the formula Formula = H/ (2 (D-1)) + D - 1, in which H represents the
breaking height and D represents the permissible drops1. Another equation is written as
F = mg, in which F represents the force, m represents the mass of the object, and g
represents the acceleration due to gravity. In addition, Equation 15.19 can be utilized to
determine a significant limit for shock absorber.

Decesion
The researcher decides Option 1, which will be our offered option for producing
the prototype. The basis for this decision was that it was cost-effective, and the
researcher concluded that the location would be more convenient for us.

of caster wheel for a 3in shock absorber. Using the welding machine, researcher
attached the flat bar and shock to the caster wheel.

Second steps (base frame)

 Using cutting tools The researcher fabricated the upper section of the trolley out of
700x950 cm galvanized flat steel. The researcher also cut a 700x950 cm steel
tubular for the base frame of the trolley, as well as four pieces of 700 cm angel bar
for the support of the frame.

Third steps ( x type hydraulic lifter)

 For the main base of the hydraulic researcher's trolley lifter, they used aluminum
angle bar 15 mm. Using a cutting tool, they cut 650 by 900 cm for the adjustable
frame support. Below the primary portion of the trolley is where the hydraulics are
stored.
