Industrial Pump Cart
Improving mobility, ergonomics, and maintenance accessibility for industrial pump handling.
- Role
- Design Engineer
Overview
Project Overview
Handling industrial pumps for maintenance and transport currently requires significant manual effort, which affects ergonomics and slows down servicing. This project is developing a purpose-built pump cart focused on improving mobility, operator ergonomics, maintenance accessibility, and operational safety.
The Problem
Engineering Challenge
The existing method of moving and servicing industrial pumps places avoidable strain on maintenance staff.
- Manual handling of heavy pump units during maintenance and transport
- Reduced ergonomics for maintenance personnel
- Increased maintenance and transportation time
