1. Motor Cart with Dolly Hoist
Advisor: Ahmad Fayed
Instructor: Cris Koutsougeras
Team Members: John Casey, Joshua Ford
ET 493 Fall 2018
(Introduce ourselves and our project name)
Hello,
John: I am John Casey
Josh: I am Joshua Ford

2. Team Weightlifters Less manual lifting Less pain
More efficient work done
Introduce our team name and slogan (Josh speaks)

3. About the Project
What? A cart that can be used to lift and move heavy objects.
Why? To reduce injury while increasing productivity in moving objects.
Who? People moving heavy equipment, safety and health organizations, etc.
John discusses the purpose of project and who will benefit from this

4. Market Research
From our analysis of the commercial market, we found designs that were:
Expensive
Not Compact
Commercial Use
Heavy
John discusses what we found from our market research

5. Project Goals Affordable ($300 - $750) Efficient
Safe and User Friendly
Compact (Foldable)
Can lift objects manually and mechanically.
Josh will state the goals of the project (mention the $8000 motor hand cart picture)

6. Main Concerns for the Project
Utilizing Manufacturing facilities
Cost and competitive issues
Have strong external funding source
John discusses the main concerns of the project

7. Approach to Project (1/2)
Search the market for available designs
Pick the best 2 designs that fit our goals.
Use these 2 designs as starting point
Design and assemble each one in Solidworks
For the next 2 slides, Josh will explain the approach to the project

8. Approach to Project (2/2)
Use Working Model 2D to analyze motion each design
Use Solidworks Simulation for FE analysis, safety, etc.
Choose one design to manufacture for next semester

9. Desired Specifications
Load capacity: lbs
Lifting height: in
Full size: 30 W x 40 Lx 60 in H
Weight: lbs
John will explain our desired specifications of the project

10. Lifting Mechanism Choices
Hydraulic Cylinder
Power Screw
Belt Drive/ Chain Drive
Josh will go into detail of the different lifting mechanisms

11. Hydraulic Cylinder
Automatic Overload Protection
Positioning Benefits

12. Power Screw Simple to design Easy to manufacture
Large load carrying capacity

13. Belt Drive/ Chain Drive
Simple and Economical
Noise and Vibration are damped out

14. Moving Mechanism Parts
DC Motor
Battery
Based on the load capacity (200 lb), find the required motor power & the necessary battery
John will discuss the different moving mechanisms for the motor hand cart

15. External Sources of Funding
Insurance Companies
Health Organizations
Others that interest in preventing human injuries
John will explain the possible external funding sources

16. Task Organization John Build the mainframe for each design
Test each design in Working Model 2D
Joshua
Build lifting mechanisms for each design
Simulate each design in Solidworks Simulation
Other tasks will be assigned weekly by Dr. Fayed.
John will state his responsibilities, Josh will state his responsibilities for the task organization

17. Timeline
Josh will go into detail concerning the timeline

18. Deliverables
Have one fully tested design ready to be manufactured for the next semester.
Simulate and test each design to ensure that they are safe, efficient, etc.
Verify the load capacity each design can endure.
Verify the lift height each design can lift to.
John will explain the deliverables for this semester

19. Thank You!!
