Hay Bale Hoist

In a group of five, a Hay Bale Hoist capable of lifting 700 lbs of load was designed. Requisites included the integration of a worm gear set with self-locking ability as well as a secondary (backup) self-locking system. My distinct responsibilities were: -Conceptualizing the design of the hoist and preparing the CAD assembly model of the concept -Preparing a CAD assembly model of the concept -Collaborating with the team regularly to discuss potential design issues and amendments and to integrate changes into various CAD model revisions throughout the design process -Sizing an appropriate AC motor for operation -Preparing a CAD assembly model of final design -Preparing part drawings and assembly drawings that can be clearly interpreted by a manufacturer
