 ABSTRACT
 The Project deals with the innovative solution for the automobile garages.
In the currently available Jacks, there is a chance of injury and discomfort
when the person works under the chassis. When there is fault in the
vehicle, the vehicle should be taken to the hydraulic jack in the service
station and the repair work should be done. If any vehicle is already placed
over the hydraulic jack, the vehicle should be taken from it and the newly
incoming vehicle should be placed. Hence the main purpose of this project
is to position the car in a titled position through some angle safely and work
can be performed readily under carriage while the car is in the tilted
position.
 This lifting machine can be taken to any place and it is compact so that it
can be kept in the rear side panel of the vehicle. This lifting machine
doesn’t need any electric power or hydraulic power to operate, but it
requires only mechanical energy thus it can be operated at any location.
The lifting principle has been used in this project. So that one end is hinged
to the base and other end is set free to incline with respect to the hinged
end. This lifting can incline to an angle less than 80 degrees and it can lift
weights up to 9810 Newton (1 ton). A chain block is used to reduce the
human effort given to lift the vehicle. Hence by giving a small effort the
lifting machine can be driven effortlessly.
INTRODUCTION
 The Lifting Machine is an innovative solution for the
automotive garages. It is a comfortable, mobile,
independent of electrical source, and cost effective.
In the titled position, the parts under the chassis can
be easily worked out. This Lift reduces the risk of
damage to the worker working under the chase of
the vehicle. Normally, the vehicle should be taken to
the nearby work station and have to be serviced by
using the hydraulic jack. Hence the vehicle should be
taken to the work station. But if the vehicle gets into
trouble at some remote areas, then there is a
difficulty to service it without using the hydraulic jack.
But by using the Lifting Machine, the vehicle can be
serviced at that place itself.
HINGED SETUP
STOPPERS

 The stoppers are used to withhold the
vehicle from falling or rolling, when the
vehicle is held on the platform or lifted or
tilted. Two types are stoppers are provided.
Namely anti rolling stopper and slide
resisting stopper.
 Slide Resisting Stopper
 Anti Rolling Stopper
SLIDE RESISTING STOPPER
ANTI ROLLING STOPPER
 W = 9810 N
 P = ?
 Rf = ?
 Using the formulae,
 Bending moment (M) = L*W
 = 9810 * ( 0.85 * 10³ )
 = 8338500 N-mm
 Bending Moment (M) = P*L
 8338500 = P * ( 1.6 * 10³ )
 Human Effort (P) = 5211.562 N
 Reaction Force (Rf) = W–P
 = 9810 – 5211.5628
 = 4598.4 N
 Here the pin is subjected to the Double shear stress,
hence the load distributed at 2 cross sections.
 Hence, load acting over the area (A) = 2 * dp² * π
4
 Shear stress (σs) = . Rf .
 2 * . π . * dp²
 4
 (σs) = 42 N/mm²
 42 * 10³ = ( 4598.4 )
 2 * π * dp²
 4
 dp = 10.46 mm
 Taking the available std diameter, (dp) = 15 mm
 Bending on the Inclining channel
 M = 8338.496 N-mm
 Bending stress (σb) = . M .
 Z
 Z = bh³ – b1h1³
 6h
 Z = [(h/2) * h³] – [(h/8) * (h³/1.25)]
 6h
 (σs) = 60 N/mm²

 60 = 8338.496
 Z

 Z = 138974.93 mm^4

 [(h/2) * h³] – [(h/8) * (h³/1.25)] = 138974.93

 6h
 MERITS
 Traction, Steering, Brake and Anti-Shock system repair can be
performed without causing back ache.
 Extension of gear box is possible without assistance.
 Rotary shaft seal exchange is possible without emptying oil.
 Exhaust pipe wielding, Body work repair and rust removal can be
done without over head spark.
 Under carriage production painting without accidentally sprinkling
sensitive carriage equipment.
 Service, Lubrication and control check possible at short notice.
 Spectator’s eyes can be easily caught at show rooms, fair and
various events.
 The gap between the two platform can be adjusted to the
required distance (i.e., to the width of the vehicle).
 CONCLUSION

 Easy job made for the consultancies.

 Provides comfort for the person working.
 It is compact and hence it can be shifted easily
and it is portable.
 It is manually operated, hence no requirement of
any electric power.
 It is cost effective compared to the Hydraulic
jack.
 Reduces the risk of getting injured.
 Cross section of C – Channel = h = 125 mm
 b = 62 mm
 b1 = 15.55 mm
 h1 = 99.58 mm
 Taking the std available C – Channel dimensions,
 Breadth of the Channel (B) = 76.2 mm
 Width of the Channel (W) = 38.1 mm
 Buckling load
 Buckling load (Bl) = π² E I
 le²
 Taking E = 200 * 10³ N/mm²
 Moment of inertia (I) = bh³ – b1h1³
 12
 (I) = (h/2)*h³ – (h/8)(h/1.25)³
 12
 le = 1.219 m

 I = 8819265.873 mm^4

 Hence by substituting the values we get,

 Buckling load, Bl = 11711493.14 N
