Author(s): Rohit Pandey* and Ashish Kumar Shrivastava
The design and analysis of a manual pallet stacker play a crucial role in enhancing material handling efficiency in industries. This study focuses on the structural design and performance evaluation of a manual pallet stacker using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The primary objective is to optimize the pallet stacker's design to ensure its mechanical reliability and safety under various load conditions. The manual pallet stacker consists of key components such as the frame, lifting mechanism, forks, and wheels, all of which are subjected to complex stress, strain, and deformation during operation. FEM is employed to model the structural behavior of these components, simulating real-world operational scenarios including lifting, lowering, and horizontal movement. The analysis helps in identifying critical stress points, potential failure zones, and areas for design improvement. R.. Read More»
