Design and Fabrication of Modern Floor Crane with Forklift Functionality

Published Apr 22, 2026

Abstract

Material handling is an important aspect in industries and workshops. Conventional lifting equipment such as cranes and forklifts are generally large and expensive. This project focuses on the design and fabrication of a modern floor crane with forklift functionality that can lift and move loads efficiently in small workshops and industries. The developed system combines crane lifting capability with forklift support using a compact mild steel structure and a hydraulic jack mechanism. The fabricated model demonstrates improved mobility, lower cost, and easy operation
