Safe Passenger Hoist Design

**Note** you must be located in Australia and or have copies of Australian standards: AS/NZS 1418.9-1996 Cranes (including hoists and winches) Vehicle hoists AS 1418.1-2021 Cranes, hoists and winches General requirements. AS 3990 – 1993 Mechanical equipment - Steelwork (Reconfirmed 2016) AS/NZS 1554.1:2014 Structural steel welding, Part 1: Welding of steel structures I'm currently in the process of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of a vehicle hoist designed specifically for passenger vehicles. With a primary focus on safety certification, the project demands diligence, precision, and expertise in engineering and safety standards. **Project Requirements:** - **Safety Certification**: The hoist must meet high safety standards. Experience with safety certification processes is crucial. - **Vehicle Type**: It's tailored for passenger vehicles. Familiarity with the specifications and requirements of passenger vehicle hoists is needed. - **Design Feature**: - Must include a Load Capacity Indicator to ensure safe operation according to the weight of the vehicle being hoisted. **Ideal Skills and Experience:** - Mechanical Engineering: Specifically, experience in designing vehicle hoists. - Safety Certification: Knowledge of the process for obtaining safety certifications for mechanical devices. - Technical Design: Ability to incorporate a load capacity indicator into the hoist's design effectively. - Attention to Detail: Given the importance of safety, precision in design and documentation is key. This project requires someone who not only has the technical engineering skills but also understands the importance of adhering to safety standards and can navigate the certification process successfully. Your experience in similar projects will be highly valued.
