FABRICATION OF HYDRAULIC LADDER

SYNOPSIS

Climbing on a very high place is done by using ropes, ladder, etc. To climb on certain peak
places by rope is highly a risk event. The ladder plays an important role in these places. It finds
its application everywhere especially, to the fire service people. It plays a vital role over here.  So
we are developing this project ‘fabrication of ladder’. On this project the ladder is designed to be
a mobile one.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The major components in this project are vehicle model, ladder, and Bottle jack with handle. The
construction and the working of this project are very simple. In the vehicle model the ladder is
mounted with a hinge provision. Another end of the ladder is mounted with the piston rod of the
bottle jack. The bottle jack is mounted on the vehicle model with a hinged arrangement. This will
help the ladder to swing in a vertical circular path. The vehicle model is moved manually with
the help of the handle in it. The vehicle is moved to the desired location and the handle is
pumped and the bottle jack is actuated. This results in the battle jack to extend providing a
pushing force to the ladder. As bottle jack is extended the ladder will be lifted, then the ladder
can be utilized for the required purpose. If the ladder needs to be lowered the bottle jack is
retracted with the help of the return spring provided. This is the basic working principle of this
project.

ADVANTAGES

 This ladder can be used even no support to lean the ladder


 The system is useful to climb up peak places.
 Can be moved to required place.

DISADVANTAGE

Slow operation.

APPLICATION

Used in street lights repairing and other applications where ladder is used.
DRAWING FOR FABRICATION OF HYDRAULIC LADDER
ABSTRACT : A tractor-mounted hydraulic operated ladder was designed and developed to
reduce the harvesting /pruning cost, increase the harvesting/pruning efficiency and enhance the
overall productivity of mango orchards. The design and drawing of hydraulic ladder was made
and theoretical analysis of the tractor mounted hydraulic operated ladder was carried out by finite
element method, using solid works software for finding the stress and stability of the hydraulic
ladder and stress under static load for the hydraulic ladder. It was observed that the variations in
the resultant forces are minimum for different heights (6, 8 10m), different angle of rotation from
0-
180° at an interval of 45 and different varying loads 75, 150, 225 and 300 kg, respectively. It is
considered to be in a state of stability when no sign of overturning is evident with the hydraulic
ladder in operation. The maximum stress observed in the hydraulic ladder for, 8m and 10 m
height
with different loads and different angle of rotation is 96.64 N/mm2 which is less than the
yielding
stress which is 220.59 N/mm2. The developed system is attached to the rear of a minimum 45 hp
agricultural tractor. System’s power source is the tractor hydraulic system. The hydraulic ladder
has the capability to lift a service worker and the required tools to the crown zone as high as 10
meters. The hydraulic ladder consists of a stabilizing system (four cylinders) on both side of the
trailer for supporting, stability and safety for the operators at the time of operation.
