Design and Development of Wheel Tire Lifter for Heavy Motor Vehicle

This paper presents the design and development of a Wheel Tire Lifter (WTL) specifically tailored for heavy motor vehicles. The aim of this paper was to develop a lifting mechanism that enhances the efficiency and safety of tire replacement processes, particularly in the context of large-scale vehicles such as trucks and buses. Through a systematic approach encompassing conceptualization, design iteration, prototyping, and testing, the WTL was engineered to address the challenges associated with lifting heavy tires, minimizing manual labor, and reducing the risk of workplace injuries. The final design incorporates robust materials, intuitive controls, and ergonomic features to ensure ease of operation and reliability in demanding operational environments. Performance evaluations and comparative analyses validate the efficacy and practicality of the developed WTL, showcasing its potential to significantly improve productivity and safety standards in heavy vehicle maintenance operations.
