This document summarizes the design and working of a pedal and rope operated forklift intended for use in small-scale industries. The forklift is designed to lift loads of at least 50 kg and works through three mechanisms - a lifting mechanism using a chain block and gear assembly, a steering mechanism using a bell crank lever, and a pedaling mechanism connecting pedals to gears and chains to power forward and reverse movement. The forklift aims to provide a low-cost and safe material handling solution for small industries compared to fuel-powered forklifts.
