| dc.description.abstract | In this report, I designed and simulated a 2WD electric forklift which was to be adopted by
industrial warehouses. Currently, they are usually not adopted mostly because they are fond of
draining batteries very fast that is within 8 hours at normal loading. Researches done advised use
of standby batteries or installing two batteries in the forklifts which is so costly since the batteries
are so expensive and it is among the things which limit most users. So to reduce the power
consumption, I focused on the body where I replaced a counterweight used on already existing
electric forklifts with a counter support and this prevents the forklift from tipping. After designing
the proposed mechanism, it was analyzed to see the effect of the load on it, where it would be
applicable better by the use solid works. | en_US |
