    The system is designed to be operated by one or two associates. With two associates, one operates the controller while the other guides the dollies. With one associate, they operate the controller and guide the dollies. Safety: The system is designed with safety in mind. The clamps rotate up/down slowly and stop immediately when the controller is released. The frame is also designed to prevent tipping. Ergonomics: The system reduces bending and lifting for the operators. The handle allows adjustment of the frame without bending and the clamps do the lifting of the dollies. Efficiency: The system is designed to guide multiple dollies at once, reducing cycle time compared to manual methods. It

    Problem Statement

    The prototype is subject to the following constraints:

    ● Comply with Daimler and OSHA safety standards


    The purpose of this project is to
    design a durable system that will ● Be operated by two (or one) associates
    be used in the downloading of
    different truck cab models. The ● Remain within $800 budget
    solution will improve safety,
    efficiency, and ergonomics for the ● Maintain or reduce current cycle time (5 mins)
    operators when guiding cabs onto
    ● Durable enough to work with dollies handling 300-700 lbs
    dollies.
    ● Removable and repeatable

    ● Fit various sized cabs (day cab, 36”, 48”, 60”, 72”)

    ● Does not significantly modify existing dollies

    ● Fit in 170” by 560” operating area

    Description of Design

    Telescoping Frame: Serves as a base to the motors/clamps and as a dolly spacing mechanism. Frame is
    extended/contracted based desired distance between front and back dollies. Preset measurements for spacing are
    indicated by pin holes. Once frame is set, pins are placed through the holes to secure the position.

    Clamp: Point of connection to the dollies. Once in place, clamps will hold dollies in place so that the entire system
    moves as one unit. Clamps are controlled by the motor and rotate up/down from the frame.

    Handle: Attached at the end of the frame which helps operators to adjust the frame without bending down.

    Wheels: Attached at the bottom of frame which allows the system to move easily.

    Drive Shaft: Transfers torque from the DC Motor to the clamp, allowing the clamp to move from it’s lower position
    to the upright position and vice versa.

    Shaft Coupling: Couples the shaft on the motor to the drive shaft.

    Description of Design

    Spacer: Provides additional spacing between the frame and the mounted bearing to ensure that the mounted
    bearing is at the same height as the drive shaft.

    Mounted Bearing: Attaches the drive shafts to the clamps, allowing the clamps to rotate from their lower
    positions to the upright position.

    DC Motor: Provides rotational force to the drive shaft which ultimately rotates the clamp up and down.

    Controller: Allows the operator to turn the motors on and off to control the up/down motion of the clamps.
