Abstract- We describe the development of robotic forklift intended to operate alongside human personnel, handling palletized materials within existing, busy, semi-structured outdoor storage facilities. The main objective of this project is to fabricate a Mechanical forklift for material handling in industries. In this paper a robotic vehicle is fabricated which runs to carry material from one place to another by using Radio Frequency Technology. Nowadays in industries, forklift used with hydraulic system. To use forklift, it requires one spot guide to guide a forklift driver because of less visibility. This paper discusses how to integrate Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology into a forklift truck to make it wireless to increase visibility and human safety. Keywords - RFID Technology, forklift trucks, visibility and human safety. I. INTRODUCTION A forklift is a vehicle similar to a small truck that has two metal forks on the front used to lift cargo. The forklift operator drives the forklift forward until the forks push under the cargo, and can then lift the cargo several feet in the air by operating the forks.[1] Forklift is totally run on electric motors which are control by a remote operator by means of remote will connected with RFID which fix radio frequency transmit and receives to forklift circuits. [1,6,7]With electrical motor it gives the motion to the forklift vehicle like forward, back, left turn, right turn and pallet controlling up down motion, which are controlled with remote and which will be transmitting signals to receiver and receiver will convert signals to operation. It‟s helpful to operator will be situated at only one position and it will operate the forklift from one position and he we monitoring on the neighbor environment due to that he will avoid the accident and operate with vision cameras.[3,5] II. FIELD OF USE Electric forklift have got numerous applications. They are used for transmission of materials from one place to another. Forklifts and fork trucks are used to engage, lift, and transfer palletized loads in warehousing, manufacturing, materials handling, and construction applications. III. LITERATURE SURVEY [14] From the reference of the actual forklift named Landoll we had scaled the actual dimensions to prototype model. The mechanical structure of this prototype model is constructed with metal plates, this structure looks like a rectangular frame& the vertical moving mechanism that contains metal forks is assembled over the structure at front side. Since it operates through a remote, it doesn‟t contain any steering mechanism. The remote technology transfers the data by RFID. All four motors are driven through a single „H‟ bridge DC motor drive package. All the four wheels are directly coupled to the motor shafts independently. The DC Motors are having reduction mechanism, there by speed is reduced and torque is increased. IV. WORKING The mechanical system is considered as motion converter, this can be created by implementing electro-mechanical techniques. The concept is to transform the motion from one form to some other required form by using suitable mechanical & electrical devices. In this research work the technique of transform the rotational motion in to linear motion is implemented. For this purpose five DC motors are used to create motion in the mechanism that functions as forklift. These motors are constructed with reduction gear mechanism & it is built in with the motor internally. As the machine is designed as prototype module, lowest rating motors are used to drive the mechanism.[8,9] The name H-bridge sometimes called a "full bridge" is so named because it has four switching elements at the "corners" of the H and the motor forms the cross bar. If the bridge is sufficiently powerful it will absorb that load and your batteries will simply drain quickly.[1] Fig. 1 Working Model 1234 Vol. 3 Issue 4, April - 2014 International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 www.ijert.org IJERTV3IS041632 International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT)
