4 Scope of the Project

In this project designing trolley we have considered the difficulties and the hardship that HEAs
staffs faced. After interview with the staffs and tried to moves the robes ourselves, we came out
with a few conclusion.

1 The trolley has to be able to reduce manpower.

The trolley we design has few characteristic that will help to reduce manpower, which is
the lightweight of the trolley contribute to less work and energy that they have to conjure
to move the trolley. Also the reasonable size of the trolley that can fit into elevator was
very helpful for staffs to reduce the routes they take to move the robes.

2 The trolley can be used in any weather condition.

The process transferring the robes always halted because of rain. Therefore, to solve this
problem we design a trolley that can be used during rain. So that, the process can still
ongoing even during rain and can save time for staffs to transfer the robes.

3 The trolley also has multipurpose function.

This is because, the trolley still can be functioning even after the convocation to transport
files and document.

4 We also design a trolley that will reduce time to transfer the robes.
The trolley were design specifically to fit into BKBA elevator in order to reduce time that
wasted by staffs to make many trip from the store room in BKBA too Laman Perdana.

5 Total of robes the trolley can carry were estimated around 100 robes.
The trolley were design to carry bigger load in order to reduce manpower.

1.5 Limitations of the Project

Although we design a trolley that has multipurpose function and can reduce manpower the
trolley also has a few limitations that it cannot surpass.
 1 Cannot be used on stairs.
The trolley was design to fit into elevator to bring it to the store room. However, the
trolley does not have stairs function as it only can be used on flat surface.

2 Has limit load.

In order to reduce manpower and time consuming, the trolley was design to be able to
carry maximum robes as possible. But, the trolley also has limit to load that acting on it
to ensure safety which is 200kg.

3 Has limit lifespan.

As the trolley was design to be able to use during rain therefore, the lifespan for the
trolley estimated was 5 year as it may rust or breakdown.

4 Maintenance
The trolley need to undergo maintenance every six months to avoid breakdown. Example
of maintenance is lubrication.

5 Safety

1.6 Significance of the project

Designing this trolley give a lot of benefit and hopefully can help UiTMs staffs in order to do
their work. After taken consider the problem statement and the scopes of the project we can
conclude that the significance of this project are

1. For university:
The trolley was able to help university staffs to transfers convocation robes during the
event. Also the trolley can be a lot benefit for HEAs staffs to transfer files and
document during students registration day.

2. Faculty:
 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering will be benefited by the technology and studies
that students apply for future learning. Future generations of Mechanical Engineering
also can learn and do researches for their study.

3. Society:
Society and publics can buy the trolley and use it in their daily life, for it has lot of
function and not limited to transfer convocation robes and files only.
