Abstract:
There are always needs to carry loads of many forms in workshops and warehouses in industries to different heights. which makes conventional ladder not suitable. A tiltable extension ladder on a trolley satisfies this requirement and above all possess the compactness of its kind. The tiltable extension ladder on a trolley was designed using the principle of a beam fixed at both ends with a point load acting at the centre of the beam, The system has two major parts, the trolley and tiltable extension ladder. The designed load was 150kg. The machine was produced and put to use with acceptable machine performance.
