<p>This Thesis is performed in cooperation with Kalmar Industries in Lidhult, Sweden. The</p><p>projects main purpose was to develop a draft design of a test equipment. The equipment</p><p>will simulate and valuate the drive-train and brakes at Kalmar’s bigger forklifts.</p><p>The equipment will be designed so the wheels of the forklift are placed on two rollers;</p><p>these absorb and affect the forklifts brake- and driving force. With this characteristic an</p><p>up- and downhill can be simulated. Today, the forklifts are being tested on a test track.</p><p>This test method is both very time consuming and the repeatability is miscellaneous with</p><p>insecure values as result.</p><p>The thesis has consisted of determining base dimensions like axle load, torque, power</p><p>requirement, etc. Even roller, bearings and axle dimensions was created. Searching for</p><p>proper application to drive and brake the rollers was also done.</p><p>Under the project’s time mechanics- and strengths calculations were made. Even</p><p>investigations of available and existing equipment have been done. The result of the</p><p>project is proposition of a drive/brake equipment and a beginning of primary design.</p>
