Abstract

Material handling plays a vital role in industrial, commercial, agricultural, and healthcare sectors where goods must be transported efficiently and safely. Conventional trolleys often suffer from limited maneuverability and require significant human effort, particularly in congested environments. This paper presents the design and development of a Multipurpose 360 Degree Wheel Material Handling Trolley. The proposed system utilizes swivel castor wheels capable of rotating through 360 degrees, allowing smooth movement in all directions without changing the trolley orientation. The trolley is fabricated using a mild steel frame, load-supporting platform, handle mechanism, and heavy-duty swivel wheels. The developed system improves mobility, reduces operator fatigue, enhances workplace safety, and increases productivity. The proposed trolley provides a simple, economical, and user-friendly solution suitable for industries, warehouses, hospitals, construction sites, and commercial applications.
