ABSTRACT

The incentive of this project is to provide an alternative method for lifting heavy weight objects in the range of 2 tons by means of designing a pneumatic lifting device, where compressed air contrived through a compressor is the main source of providing lift to the vehicle.  Furthermore, the objective of this final year project is to add further functionality to existing heavy weight lifters, by allowing maneuverability of the lifted vehicle.  In this project, the design of the pneumatic heavy weight lifter is thoroughly explained, along with the specifications and scope.  The selection of various parts for the design has been made with the product feasibility towards its functionality in mind.  It is vital to acknowledge that the selected parts have been able to meet with the design requirements.
