Design and Fabrication of Battery Operated Semi-Automatic Forklift Vehicle

The Automatic Forklift System (AFS) is designed to make the process of stocking warehouses safer and more efficient. This machine is self-drive by the used of battery power and the lifting mechanism is also run on the battery power with the help of lead screw mechanism. Available here are a wide choice of fork which can either lift or pull load by means of a lead screw. There are two main differences with lead screw devices, some are designed to lift and pull and some are designed just to pull. The main factor that decides if a lead screw machine can be used to lift, pull or both is the factor of safety that it required and the unit is built to; to lift a load there is a FOS (factor of safety) requirement of 5:1, whereas to pull a load requirement on only 3:1 FOS. Options are available for manual, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic cable pulling and lifting devices. All of which have their own unique features and specifications which can make one more suitable than another.
