The project "Design and Fabrication of 3 in Foldable Trolley" that has been proposed comes from facing difficulties when trying to move a lot of heavy items while using a regular trolley. Older people who use a regular trolley to move heavy items can experience backaches. This 3 in 1 foldable trolley project's target is to facilitate and save energy for users. This project intends to design and fabricate a 3 in 1 foldable hand trolley to consume less energy, especially for workers or people who need to lift a lot of heavy items daily. This 3 in 1 trolley has three styles to lift items. For this project, the most suitable and affordable material is steel as the main material. Other than that, such as rubber tires and non-slip fabric for the handle. There is also an idea about putting a pedometer in the trolley to record the distance traveled and even how many calories were burned. The objectives of this project are to upgrade a regular trolley to one that can make lifting heavy items easier and more comfortable. Hopefully, this project will achieve its objectives.
