Abstract

Hoisting devices are a special category of devices used for working on tall buildings and in hazardous locations where it is difficult for human beings to operate. Rope climbing devices have been developed for various functions and wide ranging tasks for construction and material handling in not too tall buildings. The ease of operating rope climbing devices is high as compared to complicated and heavy hoisting systems normally used for tall buildings. Besides, such devices do not cost much. In this paper, the focus is on developing a low cost and reliable vertical climbing that is simple in operation and is useful for construction of buildings of about 5-6 stories. The drive is a simple roller squeeze mechanism based on sugarcane juicer machine concept. The device can be relocated quickly at desired location at the construction site, as opposed to fixed location type systems, and shall be able to carry tools and construction equipment up to 100kg weight using ropes of different diameters
