RECOGNITION : SECOND PRIZE

This equipment uses mechanical links and hydraulic power to drive the mechanism. Equipment has a mechanical drive that has the purpose of transferring the motion and force from input source to an output. The device has two arms mounted on a mobile trolley, which are raised with the help of hydraulic cylinders. The tie rods are used to make the platform to move always in a vertical path.Hence by doing this a person standing on the platform can be lifted to a maximum height of 15 feet.

The aim of the project is to design and fabricate a hydraulically operated Ariallift. A low cost lift can serve the purpose in order to decrease the idle time, minimizes the effort required and facilitates safe working environment. This unit provides a maximum working height of 15 feet from base of the device and raised by a person on a platform by himself controlling the hydraulic joystick valve, which in turn activates the electric pump at the base and also the corresponding hydraulic cylinders.

The unit when collapsed to a minimum height would be 3 feet from the ground level.

This equipment provides a safe, efficient method of lifting human being at heights. This equipment replaces the need for having long ladders, which has high risk when a person climbs at the top most position of ladder. Safety valves are provided to prevent the platform from descending if a hose becomes fractured. Wheels are provided for mobility.
