Design and Analysis of Corrugated Box Elevetor System

Abstract: In today’s fast-moving manufacturing and logistics environment, efficient material handling plays a key role in improving productivity and maintaining workplace safety. Corrugated boxes are widely used for packaging and storage because they are lightweight, economical, and recyclable. However, manual handling of these boxes, especially when vertical movement between floors is required, leads to low efficiency, higher labor dependency, and increased risk of injuries , this project presents the design and analysis of a corrugated box elevator system developed to transport corrugated boxes vertically in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner. The system is designed by carefully considering industrial requirements such as load capacity, lifting height, speed of operation, space limitations, and safety. Major components including the supporting frame, lifting platform, guide rails, drive mechanism, motor, and transmission system are designed using standard mechanical engineering principles, all components are modeled and assembled using SolidWorks software. Structural analysis is carried out using SolidWorks Simulation to study stresses, displacements, and factor of safety under maximum loading conditions. The analysis results show that the elevator system is structurally safe and suitable for industrial use. The proposed design reduces manual effort, improves material handling efficiency, and enhances operational safety, making it ideal for small and medium scale industries.
