Abstract

In this thesis, the development of cylinder LPG trolley for domestic use is presented. In order to design an efficient new mechanism, studies were carried out regarding existing product of cylinder LPG trolley for domestic use. Basically, the existing cylinder LPG trolley has become an important product among the users who need to transport the cylinder LPG to other place. However, the existing cylinder LPG trolley is not being safe to use due to the ergonomic, durability and stability problem. Thus, to solve this issue, this project proposes handle mechanism to overcome the ergonomic issue, while change the material from nylon to polypropylene to increase the durability of the product. Besides that, the holder mechanism is applied on the trolley to increase the stability of the cylinder LPG during handling the trolley. The structure strength analysis of the product has been performed and the results confirmed the durability of the suggested material. Meanwhile, the ergonomic analysis of the product has been performed by using the RULA analysis and the results confirmed that there are no ergonomic failure. The fabricated prototype validate the ergonomic and functionality of the handle and holder mechanism.
