Buildings with staircases have grown significantly as a result of improvements in building or home structures, and the strain associated with carrying items cannot be ignored. High levels of strain are related to the movement of loads along staircases, particularly in high-rise buildings. In order to make it simple to transfer large goods up and down stairs, this project concentrated on designing and building an electric-powered staircase climbing trolley from locally sourced materials. Everyday needs in our society drive the necessity for such a system. This robotic trolley is also employed to reduce the strain associated with lifting while on level ground and over a staircase. Given this, the project aims to design, build, and test the functionality of an electric-powered stair climbing trolley that can transport items up and down the stairs as well as on flat surfaces and even rugged terrain. The trolley uses a triple interlink wheel configuration that makes it simple to move things. When comparing the designed and constructed motorized trolley machine established in this work to the hand trolley, whose performance efficiency ranges from 50% to 60% as explored in previous literature, the motorized trolley machine performed 87% more efficiently. Moving products up and down a staircase can potentially be solved with the help of a motorized trolley that was designed and manufactured specifically for this purpose.
