It is required in material handling in industries. It reduces the efforts of labours to a great extent. It reduces time of operation. It reduces in smooth operation. It reduces the risk of damage to the work-piece.

INTRODUCTION
Retail and manufacturing companies need to have certain type of equipment that play vital role in their day to day operations, for instance a scissor lift equipment and this article will tell how a scissor equipment works. A scissor lift is a type of platform which can usually only move vertically. The mechanism of achieving this is the use of linked, folding support in a criss-cross X pattern. The upward motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of lowest set of support, elongating the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically. The platform may also have extending bridge to allow closer access to work area (because the inherent limits of vertical only moment). The contraction of the scissor action can be hydrallic, pneumatic or mechanical (via a lead-screw or rack and pinion system). Depending on the power system employed on the lift it required no power to enter descent mode, but rather a simple release of hydraullics or pneumatic pressure. This is the main reason that these method of powering a lift is preferred, as it allow a fail-safe option of the returning the platform to the ground by releas of manual valveScissor lifts give you great lifting capacity and extra floor space , but are limited in their reach and height capabilities. When compared to boom lift, scissor lift have a greater capacity and larger available work space on the platform. While the operation of scissor lift is similar to that of boom lift, the main difference is that with the scissor lift the platform is only able to raise vertically. There is however the ability to purchase an additional option which allows a user to extend a platform up to 6 ft. horizontally. The scissor lift makes accomplishing many construction and maintenance tasks possible. One industry that makes frequent use of the scissor lift is painter or drowlers who need to be raised in order to work in high ceillings and walls. A scissor lift is invaluable when you need to lift and work with a heavy material. An example of this applying side paneling to a house, since a paneling wound not fit in a boom lift basket.

Initially the only mobility of scissor came from low teach caster. As people begun to discover all the task could be completed with a scissor lift, the manufactures begun to invent improved version of this flexible equipment. One innovation that was added was motorized control. Anther improvement was model that could navigate through rough terrain. This was a welcome machine to a people who needed the large platform of scissor lift but have to work on uneven surfaces. While boom lift really gained in the popularity, innovations in both technology and design have helped a scissor lift remain in heavy use. One area where the boom lift offers a scissor on competition is large platform/workspace. The scissor lift is definitely a prime example of aerial work spaces.

 THERE ARE MAINLY THREE TYPES OF LIFTER TROLLEYS HYDRAULIC LIFTER TROLLEY. PNEUMATIC LIFTER TROLLEY. MECHANICAL LIFTER TROLLEY.
1.HYDRAULIC LIFTER TROLLEY:Hydraulic scissor lift provide a great work space in the welding and assembly processes in many industries. They have to ensure worker safety, while at the same time improve efficiency. The lift capacity of scissor lift raneges between 500 to 100,000 lb. there are also several option including: units with multiple tiers, increased mobility, specially sized tables, pit mounted units, and platform with either turn tables or conveyer. There are a wide range to be used of hydraulic lift. Hydraulic lift come in two main type, called scissor jack ,is small section of a assembly line the second type is often used to transport worker to high, difficult to reach places on a construction site and features elaborated mechanized lifts. One of the great features of scissor lift is its wide platform. Which makes it the machine of choice to lift both worker and supplies. Another aerial lift that to be used is called hydraulics lift table. This device does not always feature scissor lift technology and is used to lift heavy object so that bottom of it may be accessed. Hydraulic technology made it way to variety of application, from tool to work out equipment. While there may not be tremendous performance difference between hydraulic and non-hydraulic scissor lift, there will definitely be a prize difference. It is important to know what is your need and requirement of equipment so that you buy a machine with the feature you need. This is the only way to be sure that you get a machine satisfy you.

2. PNEUMATIC LIFTER TROLLEY.

Here the advancement of piston and a linkage along with the platform is carried out in the upward and the downward direction using the hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement along with the platform and linkage.

3. MECHANICAL LIFTER TROLLEY:Mechanical lifter trolley is most commonly used in industries. Generally the stroke is achieved more in mechanical lifter. The upward lift motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the bottom set of support, extending the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Scissor lift equipment is any type of platform which usually moves in a vertical plane and the mechanism makes use of linked, folding support in a criss-cross X pattern. The upward lift motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the bottom pressure to the outside of the bottom set of support, extending the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically. The contraction of the scissor achieved mechanically with the help of lead screw system. Depending on the power system employed on the scissor lift equipment, it may require very minimal power to lower the lift.

IMPORTANCE OF MOVABLE LIFTER TROLLEY

The material handling is specialized activity for a modern manufacturing concern. The main purpose of material handling is to achieve an effective and economical handling system right from introduction of raw material to the time when products are finally put to use. It has been estimated about 50-75 % of cost is spent on material handling. As the majority of time of production is spent in material handling before and after production. This cost can be reduced by proper selection, operation and maintenance and layout of material handling devices but it cant be totally eliminated. material handling refers to the moving of material from the storeroom to machine to next during the process of manufacturing. the material can be referred as the techniques employed to move, transport, and store or distribute material with or without aid of mechanical appliances it may also be defined as the art and science of moving, storing and packing of product in any form. It is general objectives can be summarized in the aphorism getting the right good safety to the right place at right cost. The material handling problem must be studied at the time of planning various machine and tool to require and before the election of the factory building. Material handling is the prime consideration in designing new plant and several existing plant can be modified by the application of modern material handling devices. These device increases output, improve quality, speed up the deliveries and therefore, decrease the cost of production.

CONSTRUCTION OF MOVABLE LIFTER TROLLEY:

There are mainly two channel frames, one at the top and another at the bottom. This channels are strong as they made up of cast iron and hence they are used for lifting heavy weights. Scissor links are provided in lifter trolley for the motion of trolley which enables the trolley to move up and down. In two scissor linkages, pivot joint is provided which provides easy moment to lifter trolley. There are two surface provided on the lifter. One is at bottom and another one is at top. The surface at the bottom is rigid and the one at the top is movable. For movable surface , roller mounting is provided,this privides the up and down moment of lifter trolley. Lead screw is main component of the trolley which is heart and sole of trolley. Lead screw gives the motion to the movement of trolley. There are four castor wheel provided to the trolley for the motion of the trolley in a industry from one place to another. The stopper provided at the bottom to provide good gripe to the assembly when it is in rest position. This enables the movement of trolley. The motor is provided for movement of trolley which automatically raise down trolley. One end of lead screw is attached to the motor with gear attachment . an 0.25(quarter) H.P motor is provided for movement. Worm and worm gear are installed in the motor for the movement. Hence the maximum stroke be achieved with less input. A thrust bearing is mounted on the one side of the fixed end and on second side gear motor is mounted.

PROJECT SELECTION
In the course of diploma the most exciting subject is the industrial project & seminar(IPS) It test our real knowledge & understanding that we have of what we have studied. Following criteria should be considered in the selection of project. 1. It should be an innovative idea. 2. It should be economical 3. It should be feasible to be manufactured.

As a group as a whole and as suggested by our guide. We decided that, we would do a industrial sponsored project. As it would let us know what is actually happening around. We began our search by selecting an industrial area whoch is easily accessible to our group member i.e bhandup-thane-dombivali. Firstly we went to the industries in the bhandup area. We visited vishwakarma engineering work were we detected the problem which was related to micro-processer which was not related to are field so we moved on. Our next visit was in dombivali(MIDC) to rotex which was very sophisticated company manufacturing actuator. There to nothing worked. After visiting few more companies we went to omkar injection moulding pvt. Ltd here we find out a problem with material handling and approached owner to solve it.

After studying the problem deeply we found few solution like design a trolley which would also be adjusted. So we selected a scissor lift trolley.
