Abstract

In this era, the advancement in production and management systems has changed the automobile industry very fast. The industry has witnessed the opening up and growth of several emerging markets. The automotive industry is now facing new and pressing challenges. Globalization, digitalization and increasing competition in the market are changing the face of the industry. Due to that, there are many types of cars that have been produced in this present era. Cars type has been classed by car segment. In Asia, the smallest category of car registered as regular cars is known as A-segment. The B-segment is the next larger category of small car. The largest category of small cars is called C-segment or small family car. Most popular car type in Malaysia is MPV or multi-purpose vehicle. This car type become popular because of the variety of seat combinations in the segment, it is the most flexible class among the others. There are MPVs that seat five people and others that accommodate eight people. However, most cars usually have seven seats. Next popular car type in Malaysia is SUV or Sport Utility Vehicles. This car type become popular because SUV offers better cargo capacity. The other reason why people choose SUV is because they want the off-roading capabilities to drive through untamed, unpaved terrain, and wild. The similarities for these two types of cars are they are usually equipped with a roof rack on their roof. Roof rack is an extra cargo storage for SUV and MPV type car. Because of the height of this type of car is taller than others car type, it makes it a little difficult for people to load and unloading their goods on the car roof rack. They need more energy or need more than one person to load and unloading the item on the roof rack. The purpose of this research to design and fabricate a hand cranked lifter to make it easier for people to load and unloading their goods on the car roof rack.
