Abstract:-
The main objective of our project is to make a mechanical prototype module with square metal pipes, the structure looks like a rectangular box & the vertical moving mechanism that contains metal forks is assembled over the structure at front side. Since it operates through a remote, it doesn’t contain any steering mechanism. The entire vehicle is designed to drive through four wheels &motors are used to drive all the four wheels directly. All the motors are driven through a single ‘H’ bridge DC motor drive package. The DC Motors are having reduction gear mechanism internally, there by speed is reduced and torque is increased. There is also a lead screw mechanism which is used for linear mechanism of fork for load lifting work which is driven by side shaft motor.
