Projeto de um elevador automotivo para protótipo do tipo Fórmula SAE

Abstract

The automotive lift is an equipment whose main purpose is to lift the vehicle to a position that facilitates its maintenance. Currently, the niche market for these equipment focuses mainly on commercial vehicles, thus, there is a lack of products that can be used in prototypes. In this way, prototype builders have a lot of difficulty related to the construction and maintenance of vehicles. An example of this is the Fórmula UTFPR team, which builds a prototype for a national competition. Therefore, the opportunity presented itself to design a specific automotive lift for a Formula SAE type prototype. This work presents a project structured in an exploratory research methodology, contemplating bibliographic research and field research. In addition, it uses a design methodology and software to assist in the development of the project. Thus, it is possible to develop equipment that meets the needs of the team.
