Review on Design and Analysis of Trailer Mounted Water Pump Canopy

The chassis of a trailer-mounted water pump canopy is a critical structural component that ensures stability, mobility, and durability of the system. This study focuses on the design and analysis of a chassis capable of supporting a water pump within a protective canopy while withstanding operational and transportation stresses. The design process involves 3D modelling using CAD software, followed by structural analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess stress distribution, deformation, and factor of safety under various loading conditions. Key design considerations include load distribution, material selection, weight optimization, and dynamic performance. The chassis must accommodate the pump’s weight, resist vibrations during operation, and endure road impacts during transportation. Materials such as structural steel and aluminium alloys are evaluated based on strength, corrosion resistance, and weight efficiency. Suspension and axle configurations are also analysed to ensure proper load balance and maneuverability. Additionally, the design considers factors such as ground clearance, centre of gravity, and ease of maintenance to enhance usability
