Individual Design CAD model - Rajinder Sidhu

The following images show the proposed design of the crane model in SolidWorks.


There are four main components that make up the design of the crane. These are the legs, base box, middle box and the crane boom. The pulley system is located within the crane boom. Trusses are used in the structure to make the frame rigid. The frame would be made from square and tubular steel or aluminium piping.
