DEVELOPMENT OF MOVABLE LADDER

Abstract

A ladder is a device that consists of various steps to go up and down to do any activity. Users need to focus on the safety aspects when using the ladder so that no incidents occur and more importantly to avoid incidents that can be fatal. A ladder is frequently used by technicians in Bukit Besi campus to do their tasks every day. There are some problems with the existing ladder. It is quite difficult if the worker tries to deflect the ladder by being on it. Instead, workers must go down and lift the ladder to the next position. This will cause them to take a long time to complete the work. Thus, we propose to design and fabricate a movable ladder that can move horizontally, left, and right, at a predetermined distance. The whole project involved various methods like product design specification, concept design, concept evaluation, CAD design followed by fabrication and testing. Testing was carried out to make sure that the product is functional and achieved the targeted objectives successfully.
