Design & Construction of a Remote Control Forklift Robot.

Abstract

Forklifts are used in a wide variety of applications, such as manufacturing, construction, retail, meat and poultry processing, lumber and building supplies, trades, agriculture, and a variety of warehouse operations. This work mainly approaches to design and modeling of electronic forklift. Electronic forklifts are extensively used primarily for material handling in food industry. The objective of the electronic forklift is to ensure safety of the operator and to save time and money to push and pop items. In this system, 4 DC motors, 2 gear moto, A Node MCU, Motor Driver, r are used. Four DC motors are used for moving and two gear motor is used for lifting and Node MCU is mainly used to control the overall system. Node MCU will determine whether the motors have to rotate forward or backward. Motor directions are implemented by Arduino programming management. Therefore, the system will be a foundation in implementing of the industrial forklift
