2 Wheel Drive Forklift for Industry Warehouses
Factories, industries and storage go downs need forklifts and cranes for storage and moving large goods. Also there are a number of goods weighing around 40 – 60 kgs that are comparatively lighter but cannot be moved around easily by human labor. To fill this need we here propose a 2 wheel drive forklift to lift and transport such medium weight goods across factories & industrial warehouses. The 2 wheel drive is a fast, efficient and low power consumption vehicle that does not require much space to move around. The mini forklift will run on 2 dc motors and can drive small weight with pickup arrangement across small distances easily. For this we use a mini 2 wheel vehicle body frame designed with a platform with 2 motorized wheel mounts. It has a perpendicular handle ahead to hold on as well as take turns. Also we design a forklift type mechanism on the front handle of vehicle using 2 bent metal strips and lifting mechanism. The lift mechanism comprises of large rotating chain mechanism. This mechanism is connected to a high power motor. We now mount the control circuitry on the vehicle with wireless controllers that allow the vehicle to be controlled by person on it as well as by operating it remotely from 5-6 meters range. Thus we provide a remote controlled forklift for small goods transportation in industrial sector. The demonstration version can lift 10 – 20 kgs to demonstrate the concept.

Abstract-
As we all know material handling has always been an important element in our day-to-day life. Moving raw material, finished goods, semi- finished goods from one place to other are now done by forklift. Forklift are used for carrying heavy loads, loading and unloading of trucks, ships etc. in ware housing and construction sites. Varieties of forklifts are present which run though electricity and fuels like liquid petroleum gas, diesel, gasoline etc. are used in large industries and are expensive. So we decided to design and fabricate miniature two wheel drive forklift which is cost effective and can be used in small industries, factories, ware house etc. 1.
INTRODUCTION
Forklift is a very useful and time saving vehicle similar to a small truck used to lift and move material over short distance are now widely use in industries, factories, construction sites to carry hefty building materials, for loading and unloading of trucks and ships and can also be serve as snow plows to clear off the way covered by snow. Forklift have a power operated forked platform attached at the front that is used to rise and lower for insertion under a cargo to lift or move it. Some forklift allow the operator to sit while driving and operating machine while some require the operator to stand.
1.1 Field of Use Forklift are use for moving materials from one place to another. Forklift are use in commercial areas such as factories, construction sites industrial workshop etc.
1.2 Literature Survey By taking the reference of an actual forklift we have designed and fabricated miniature two wheel drive forklift which is cost effective. The construction of structure is made by using metal frame, lead screw, chain sprocket, Cchannel, nuts, bearings etc.
2. WORKING Forklift works on semi electric techniques where power is transfer from one form to another by using mechanical as well as electrical components. In this project we have worked on the transfer of rotational motion to linear motion by using a dc motor which is constructed by using a gearbox of gear ratio 2:1. As we run the motor the chain drive which is coupled from gearbox to lead screw by using sprocket starts running and provides rotational motion to the lead screw. Lead screw is mounted on the guide column, the nut is fastened into the lead screw and roller is bolted to the nuts. And fork is attached to the roller which provide linear motion to the fork.
CONCLUSION
The proposed design of forklift require less space for working and parking and is eco-friendly as it does not produce ant toxic gases. The maximum weight it can carry is 100kg to maximum height of 1200mm. It provide safety to the operator while handling the material.
