MLM Armrest Adjustment Locking Mechanism
MLM Armrest Adjustment Locking Mechanism
The Mini-lever Module (MLM) armrest houses all of the controls necessary to operate the Hyster-Yale forklifts. Much like a car steering wheel, each operator needs to adjust the armrest to a position that is comfortable. The current system requires two handle pulls to unlock. The goal of the project is to design a locking mechanism on their forklifts that unlocks with the pull of one handle. The value of the project is to streamline adjustments for operators and keep up with competition.
