Project Description

The project is intended for storage houses where material handling in small spaces is difficult, including cold-storage environments where items must be positioned in close proximity.

The platform functions like a compact forklift, enabling three-axis movement through simple electrical hand-held switching.

The balance and centre-of-gravity shift are simulated and managed through engineering analysis. The system is designed for payloads of up to 300 kilograms and can be adapted for different applications.

Development Journey

Project status at the beginning
