| description | This report outlines the design of a light-duty engine overhaul stand aimed at enhancing maintenance practices for light-duty engines by offering a specialized platform for efficient overhauls. The main goal is to improve maintenance efficiency by reducing the time and effort needed for engine servicing. The design features thorough analyses, material selection, and detailed drawings for both individual components and the complete assembled stand. Key elements of the stand include a handle, upright, baseplate, front leg structure, central beam, rear leg assembly, casters for mobility, a dedicated mounting arm, pins, and various bolts for secure fastening. Stress-strain calculations from the design analysis demonstrate that the engine overhaul stand can safely accommodate the intended medium load during maintenance, ensuring reliable operation. The cost-effective design emphasizes the use of readily available and affordable materials, making it advantageous for small and medium-sized garages, as well as some larger ones, due to its simple fabrication process. By utilizing this stand, garages can enhance their engine maintenance practices to align with international standards, ultimately improving operational efficiency. This improvement can lead to quicker service turnaround times, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction. For smaller and medium garages, the stand’s affordability and ease of production make it a practical option, enabling a more professional and efficient engine overhaul process. Although larger garages may already have dedicated stands, this cost-effective design presents a viable alternative for expanding service capabilities or replacing outdated equipment. In summary, the adoption of this engine overhaul stand has the potential to enhance maintenance practices across various garage sizes, positively influencing the overall efficiency and service quality within the automotive industry. |
