This work/project is about to provide solution for manual pushing of carrier/trolley. Pushing and
directing loaded or unloaded carrier/trolley includes applications in material handling for food industries,
packaging and logistic industries, airports, shopping malls and supermarkets. This activity consumes lot of
energy and effort for propelling and walking. This project aims to give conceptual and partial design for a
kind of attachment, which can power cart/trolley in propulsion. In the design of this attachment, shopping
cart is used for demonstration purpose. The attachment is detachable so attachment can be detached
whenever needed. Purpose of this project is to open new area of study in the field of optimisation and
ergonomics to make manual cart to electrically power.
