Abstract
A portable plastic tank lifting and lowering machine is designed and fabricated. This machine has a mounting gadget that makes it possible to be hoisted ata height, and the retractable ram and arm tomove and swindle around to locate the tank to be re-located for washing. In a lifting and lowering test-run, the 150v-400 kg capacity electric winch bearing machine lifted and later lowered to the ground a 300 kg mass tank for washing. The machine components with the exception of the winch are all locally sourced. The winch may be adapted and replaced by a 200v electric winch from Japan for heavier load bearing. The total machine cost is N43, 800, about $87 only.
