Based on single pillar lifts as can
be seen in the image
Compact, transportable design
ensures it is more practical in a
garage environment
Lift would move up and down
on a long thread or worm
gear
Construction
Would be made of forged steel
because of its relatively low
cost and large strength
All components welded where
possible to provide strength
When building a prototype, it will be as accurate and as scaled
as possible however it may prove impossible to find correct
scale parts e.g. motors, castors etc, so it will just have to be a
representation of my final product
Research to
Undertake
Strength calculations/stress strain etc.
Correct scale for prototype
Costs of materials
Features
Small footprint
Moveable
Sprung castors allows for it to be moved
when not in use and still offer effective
lifting
Plate would sit on arms of lift bed when
different sized objects need lifting, not just
vehicles
