This bachelor thesis, developed at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Linaeus Univesity, targets the enhancement of fire extinguisher accessibility and durability on forest machinery for Rottne Industries AB. The study responds to the basic limitations in traditional fire extinguisher storage methods within the forest machinery sector, where current designs fail to provide sufficient robustness and accessibility in forest environments. These challenges are mixed with the physical demands and potential hazards of forest operations. Through a systematic review of safety measures, this research introduces an innovative concept for a universal fire extinguisher holder adaptable across various models of forest machinery at Rottne Industries AB. The project has a structured product development process, advancing through stages from theoretical design and optimization to 3D CAD modeling and simulation. The resulting design enhances both the structural integrity and functional accessibility of fire extinguishers, significantly improving response capabilities during fire emergencies. This thesis combines advanced engineering principles with appropriate design strategies to deliver a solution that not only increases the accessibility of fire extinguishers but also enhances their durability under operational stresses typical in forestry environments. The findings promise to elevate fire safety standards in forest operations, potentially standardizing fire safety protocols across the forestry sector and specifically advancing the safety agenda of Rottne Industries AB.
