ENB150 – Introducing Engineering Design
Project Brief -‐ 2013
This project brief has been prepared following discussions with your client. The final CRA
assessment for this group project will be appraised against this documentation.

1. Project Objective
Design and construct a lifting device to move an object from the lower pedestal at
location A and relocate it onto the higher pedestal at location B.
The lifting device must be designed as per the specifications supplied in this project
brief.
2. The Object
The object to be relocated is an extremely fragile statue of David (Rovere). The statue
has a mass of 0.5 kg. Refer to Figure 2 for detailed dimensions of the statue. In order to
ensure the statue is not damaged, it must be carefully lifted, carefully placed down and
not dragged at any stage of the move. The lifting device will also be tested with a 1 kg
and 1.5 kg object to determine if the device has been designed with an appropriate
safety factor and not overdesigned. Note that when additional weights are added to the
0.5kg mass, the overall width of the statue may approach 100mm.
