Prototype Model of Forklift with Mecanum Wheel Controlled Using Mobile

Industrial forklifts are used to load and unload goods. Electrical forklifts consume less power to drive the vehicle. In crowded spaces with static and/or dynamic obstacles and small corridors, such as industrial floors, warehouses, offices, and hospitals, multidirectional cars could carry out crucial functions. Mecanum wheel-mounted forklifts have seen several designs developed recently to enhance their multidirectional portability and usefulness. In this project, the center of gravity of the forklift is 67mm from the front axle and mecanum wheel diameter is 60mm. The direction of the mecanum wheel is determined by the direction of the leading edge of the roller, if the roller is pointed left then it is a left wheel and if the roller is pointed right then it is a right wheel. The mecanum wheel is a device that can move a vehicle in all directions, including forward, backward, left, right, diagonal, and more. This design has empowered us to create mecanum wheel-based forklift prototype, showcasing the potential for engineering solution.
