Redesigning the Tensile Piling Machine to Increase the Effectiveness of Transporting Palm Oil on Hilly Terrain

Abstrak

The Pulling Stake Machine was originally used to pull timber, but this study aims to modify its design so that it can be used to transport oil palm in hilly areas both in the rainy and dry seasons. The improvements include the ability of the cart to maintain grip or traction on the ground by adding a reverse load safety device at the rear of the cart, operating stability on hilly terrain, and can be used in both sunny and rainy weather conditions. The research method includes needs analysis, redesign of main components, performance simulation, and field testing. The results show that this tensile piling machine improves the efficiency of the work process by reducing idle time and increasing operating speed. The machine is also equipped with a safety system that ensures safe operation when there is an overload disturbance and reduces the risk of work accidents, so it can be used in various conditions, both dry and rainy seasons. The specifications of this machine include 8 PK motor power, 2600 rpm rotation, S55C-D drum roll material with 80 mm diameter, 1.11 inch sling, and S55C-D safety fork material with outer diameter (do = 40 mm) and inner diameter (di = 36 mm)..
