Design and Fabrication of Powered Load Carrying Stair Climbing Device

Abstract

In domestic as well as commercial buildings there are multiple times where the need to transport loads over stairs is observed. This is usually done by lifts or other mechanisms which are not certain enough. We can also see the utilization of paid labor in this process day in and day out. The devices that are available usually are trolleys which can be pushed or pulled by a number of members depending upon the amount of load and the distance over which it is to be carried. Thus, the current project aim is making a stair climbing load carrying device which can be used in such conditions. There are several devices available in the market that work around the same idea but are not commonly used due to many reasons, it is especially kept in mind to make this project economical and powered, to overcome the drawbacks of the present available systems. The device has a platform to carry the load and base conveyor belt assembly to cause the movement of the system, attached to the frame. The whole assembly is powered by motors that cause the pulleys to move.
