Project Objectives
High Priority Objectives
Lift
Secure
Move
Second Priority Objectives
Make the device faster, lighter, more easier to use, etc.
Other Constraints and Issues
Height (3 inches) and width clearances (5-6 inches)
Weight of cabinets (up to 2200 lbs.) and load limit of the drive wheel on the unit
15lb weight limit on any removable component
High center of gravity of cabinet / securing load safely
WOW Design Solution
Lift to the height of the shipping pallets (4.5 inches)
Travel over all floor obstacles
