Multiuso Faltbar Wagen: A Multipurpose Foldable Trolley Designed for Efficiency and Ergonomics

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Efficient transportation for carrying heavy loads is a common challenge across various applications, from supermarkets to industrial purposes. Conventional trolleys often fall short when loaded with heavy cargo, resulting in increased exertion and diminished productivity. Moreover, these challenges can adversely affect posture and lumbar spine health, especially for elder people and persons with cervical problems. There is a need for more user-friendly, ergonomic, and space-efficient solutions.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This project addresses these challenges through an innovative design that encompasses various aspects of trolley functionality, including the study of comfort, wheel selection, and material considerations, drawing from ergonomic research. Multiple methods are employed to optimize the trolley’s dimensions to improve its overall performance.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">The trolley’s design features a collapsible basket for the transport of smaller-sized items and a base frame for larger goods and luggage. The project underscores the trolley’s potential to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and reduce fatigue among users, showcasing the positive impact of ergonomic interventions. This adaptable folding cart represents a promising solution for the efficient and comfortable transportation of heavy loads, benefiting a diverse range of users in various applications.</div></div>
