Innovative Adjustable Stilts: The "Easy Lifts" Solution for Enhanced Mobility and Safety

The "Easy Lifts" project presents a novel design for adjustable stilts that aim to address common challenges faced with traditional stilts. Issues such as difficulty in getting on and off, adjusting height, and picking up objects are explored. Our design incorporates advanced lifting devices, including a hydraulic scissor lift and a rotary ratchet locking mechanism, enhancing user experience. Budget considerations and a detailed schedule for material acquisition, assembly, and testing are outlined. This project prioritizes safety and efficiency for tasks requiring elevation.
