Caster Wheel Suspension

Design Problem

Project deliverables: Renders, CAD files, Design document

In industrial carts, there tends to be a pronounced lack of a suspension system for the caster wheels. This means that in applications in which such carts are used to transport heavy loads across distances over rough terrain, the following occur:

The Solution

My solution is a passive suspension system that utilises an integrated spring assembly to counter the effects of vibration on the industrial cart and its operator.

This design project was my first major sustainable design undertaking, and integrates several sustainable design features:
