Miniature Robot dolly/forklift
One off, miniature dolly/forklift and crane built for specific application, capacity approximately 400lbs. Dolly is propelled by two 24volt DC motors, controlled by pulse width modulation, with drive train (spring) suspension. Crane fully electric 12volt system (lift-boom-turn). Lift is a wench head, boom is a pivot arm driven by a ball screw, turn is chain and sproket drive. Not demonstrated in video the dolly will also lift to the height of it’s upright, with electric rack and pinion drive. Upright tilt is achieved by pivot point and ball screw. Idealy the units would be wireless, and it will probably be added.
