Dimensions: 32 x 50 x 45 Centimeters

Here we propose the design and fabrication of a remote controlled mini forklifter . The mini forklifter defines the concepts of using forklifts for weights lifting as well as placement using pulley based mechanism. Our system allows for efficient implementation of this concept. The mini forklift uses pulley and belt arrangement In order to lift loads. It is connected to a powerful 12V motor in order to lift weights and also consists of a counter weight in the back to maintain proper balance while lifting weights. The lifting mechanism is attached onto a 4 wheel drive frame chassis strong to support the frame as well as counterweight. It consists of 4 motors needed to control vehicle movement in all 4 directions. The system uses 2 supporting rods with bearing setup in order to achieve smooth vertical movement of the forklift. Also we use 4 motor drive in order to drive the forklift with efficient strength. We now use an Rf based circuit system in order to run the mini forklift from a distance by receiving wireless control commands by rf remote.
