Heavy duty tasks in any industry or workshop are managed by several mechanical equipment's like cranes, hoists, lifts etc; it involves loading/unloading of goods, shipping of heavy materials, lifting and dropping heavy equipment's. Heavy duty tasks such as engine removal from vehicle for repairing/rebuilding and restoring, likewise complex operations that involves the movement of heavy engine parts in the workshop from one place to another. The task usually requires time depending on the hoisting device employed. Chain hoist requires more time as it is operated manually by human efforts and has certain limitations, like it is fixed with some constructed beam or tripod on other hand, hydraulic hoist has more capacity to lift heavier engine than chain hoist and electrical hoist. However, Electrical hoist has lifting capacity up to weight of about 200-250Kg but has adequate speed than other lifting devices like chain hoist and hydraulic hoist. In this servey, several design concepts are considered for hoisting/lifting heavy engine assembly more than 250kg and we planned to test the portable lifting hoist by modeling the assembly in Creo Parametric and analyze it in Ansys Workbench with prescribed engineering data and different loading conditions to optimize various failure stages, equivalents stresses and other optimistic findings.
