Abstract

Several industries deploy barrels that are too heavy and large making them unstable to lift the desired material. The load sustaining capacity of worker has certain limitations. Due to lack of power they cannot lift barrel by bare hands. Even if machines are used to do the work, two machines are required to perform lifting and tilting. With a view to resolve these problems and reduce cost as well as labor work, present system is designed with machine which can perform both lifting and tilting of barrel that can be handled by a single worker. Handling the loads manually amplify disorders owing to regular and accumulative worsening of the musculoskeletal system especially during lifting and handling tasks. Labour-intensive operations result in lower back pain and harms frequently seen in musculoskeletal disorder. The occurrence of injuries increase as a reason of quite heavy and large loads, difficulties in grasping or instabilities. The marginal load carrying capacity of employee also contributes to risk of accident. Now-a-days, the most available jacks are manually powered. The studies revealed that these manual hydraulic jacks were very difficult for operation by labors especially the females in terms of strength and energy needed during operation and are time consuming. Thus, to overcome this problem of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries with increase in efficiency in the industrial material handling, a new lifting and tilting system is proposed.
