Tilting Bullock Cart "Aruni"


Features |Technical Details |Innovation Profile |Investment Opportunity Document|Print


Transport

In the traditional bullock cart, with two wheels, part of the load is borne by the draft animals on their shoulders and neck and the harnessing system at present makes it difficult to negotiate sharp bends or turns in the road. This causes gall on the neck of the bullocks, which affects not only the efficiency of the animals but also their stamina. This cart is thus designed to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional carts by having an additional wheel to balance the load. In addition the cart has a tilting mechanism which is based on the rope and pulley system which can be controlled by a lever located alongside the cart driver. The innovation was supported by TEPP through GIAN-WEST. An Indian Patent no. (194420) has been granted to this innovation.


  • Application: weight transporting platform in the rural areas
  • Alternative application areas: Can be used as a low cost payload dumping mechanism
  • Market potential in the developing countries where bullock is still being used
