Further development and evaluation

Further development and brief tender evaluation



The product I believe is a good prototype design. Obviously rigorous testing and a thorough evaluation have to be done if the product was actually manufactured.



During the presentation the product was under heavy scrutiny, one of the main problems identified was the lack of structural support in the legs. The crane would be unstable without these two extra bars for support. Below is a diagram and an interesting common fixing mechanism for the bar to leg connection.




The estimated total cost of the initial model in production to cost £1000 (labour included).


I encourage more constructive criticism from our competitors.



Thankyou, Good work Group. : )
