Application of an animal ramp for the Swift & Easy movement of animals in & out of the carriage

Challenges

  • One of India’s leading animal zoos wanted to ensure that their animals can climb in and out safely onto the animal carriage trucks 
  • Since these are wild animals the equipment needed to be very easy to deploy, use and it should not cause any harm to the animals.

Solution

  • Nandan designed a two-fold hydraulic ramp retro-fitted at the back of Eicher, BB & Tata Trucks that easily unfolds and deploys on the ground at the press of a single button
  • The ramp has self-supporting legs at the bottom, railings on the sides and rough surface to avoid animals from slipping while climbing
  • The gradient of deployment is also not steep and animals can climb easily with minimal effort
  • The ramp has a capacity of 1 Ton and also serves as the rear door of the truck in the closed position.

Results

  • Easy one touch operation for fast & effective operations.
  • Safety of the wild animals guaranteed due to Robust build quality.
  • Easier for the animals to get in & out of the carriage due to optimal gradient.
