In this project, we redesigned a roll loading trolley based on a customer request to improve usability and efficiency during machine loading. The previous trolley was heavy to move and required operators to manually adjust the position of rolls each time they were loaded onto the machine.
The new design focused on reducing the overall weight of the trolley while introducing positioning handles that automatically guide and hold each roll in its optimal loading position. This eliminated the need for repeated manual adjustments and simplified the loading process.
The trolley structure was also designed and analyzed to ensure it could safely withstand operational loads and forces. The final design provided improved maneuverability, better roll positioning, and a more ergonomic solution for operators. The design and analysis results are illustrated in the accompanying images.
