Design, Modification, Analysis of a Tractor Driven Container Lifting Device Used for Solid Waste Management

For transport of solid waste the concerned authority need to decide the type of vehicles to be procured and the system of transportation to be adopted. In all mega cities and municipal corporations’ HCV chassis are used for loading and unloading the containers having size more than 5.5 cubic meters. But for all towns and Nagarpalikas these may not be preferred due to space limitations and narrow size roads. So here tractor driven lifting device may be used which will lift up to 4.5 cubic meter containers. They can use containers of up to 4 to 4.5 cubic meters capacity, which will make optimum use of the tractors. The objective of this dissertation is to design, modify and analyses the existing design parameter, to identify the parameter which affecting the performance of the device and by conducting survey from end users, manufacturer to know the problems associated with the existing device. Based on the survey and study new improved optimum utilization and convenient design will be suggested for easy operation and less maintenance.
