Efficient transportation for carrying heavy loads is a common challenge across
various applications, from supermarkets to industrial purposes. Conventional
trolleys often fall short when loaded with heavy cargo, resulting in increased
exertion and diminished productivity. Moreover, these challenges can adversely
affect posture and lumbar spine health, especially for elder people and persons
with cervical problems. There is a need for more user-friendly, ergonomic, and
space-efficient solutions.
This project addresses these challenges through an innovative design that
encompasses various aspects of trolley functionality, including the study of
comfort, wheel selection, and material considerations, drawing from ergonomic
research. Multiple methods are employed to optimize the trolley’s dimensions to
improve its overall performance.
The trolley’s design features a collapsible basket for the transport of
smaller-sized items and a base frame for larger goods and luggage. The project
underscores the trolley’s potential to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and
reduce fatigue among users, showcasing the positive impact of ergonomic
interventions. This adaptable folding cart represents a promising solution for
the efficient and comfortable transportation of heavy loads, benefiting a
diverse range of users in various applications.
