Custom Utility Trailer & Mobile Unit Design
Home -Custom Utility Trailer & Mobile Unit Design
Project Overview:
My Role: Mechanical Design Engineer | Trailer & Chassis Design
The client required a custom utility trailer and mobile unit with a strong chassis, smooth mobility, and modular body structure. I handled the complete design process, including chassis layout, suspension and wheel assembly, structural frame design, and body panels. The trailer was designed for durability, ease of fabrication, and balanced load distribution. I delivered full 3D CAD models, detailed manufacturing drawings, and a complete BOM, enabling accurate fabrication and assembly.
Challenge:
The project required designing a reliable automation machine that could operate continuously in a food production environment.
Key challenges included:
- Synchronizing conveyor motion with the stamping mechanism
- Maintaining consistent stamping position and pressure on soft dough
- Designing hygienic and cleanable machine components
- Ensuring safe operation for workers in a production setting
- Selecting suitable motors and pneumatic components for repetitive cycles
- Achieving smooth material flow without damaging the product
Precise timing between conveyor movement and stamping action was the most critical engineering problem.
Solutions:
I developed a fully integrated mechanical and pneumatic system to ensure accurate and repeatable operation.
- Designed a custom conveyor with controlled speed and alignment
- Integrated a pneumatic stamping mechanism synchronized with conveyor movement
- Selected appropriate motors, actuators, valves, and pneumatic components
- Optimized mechanical linkages for repeatable stamping accuracy
- Created detailed SolidWorks 3D assemblies and part models
- Delivered manufacturing drawings and a complete BOM for fabrication and procurement
The design emphasized repeatability, hygiene, and production efficiency.
Results:
- Successfully automated the manual dough stamping process
- Achieved consistent stamping quality and production speed
- Machine was fabricated, assembled, and commissioned on-site
- Improved production efficiency and reduced manual labor
- Provided complete documentation enabling maintenance and future replication
The final system was a fully operational production machine, ready for continuous industrial use.
