The goal of this study is to do a stress, strain and displacement analysis on an upgraded screwed model of fork lift. The forklift model was developed using Solidworks and through Solidworks simulation, the needed analysis of the specified parameters was also performed using the Finite Element method. The model was improved based on the standard original geometry of parts that were employed in terms of stress, strain, and displacement of the fork at crucial regions. The forks of the structural element were modeled as a cantilever beam with uniformly distributed load and the analysis was carried out using the usual Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Modifications to the meshing element size were used to improve the fork. The meshing element size ranges from 32 mm to 3 mm. When compared to analytical data, the outcomes of shrinking the element size yield better results in terms of stress, strain, and displacement.
