Abstract: As we can see that during any type of construction work there is a need to carry the bricks from one floor to the other which is done manually by the workers because of which they often get injured and it also consumes a lot of precious time and in turn increases the labour cost, So in order to tackle with this problem with the help of mechanical engineering we had proposed to design a brick lifting machine which can lift up to 50 bricks at a time we had also focused on minimum power consumption and the efficiency so that in minimum power consumption maximum no. of bricks can be lifted. The key points in the designing of the lift is are factor of safety and the counterweight, there are many else technical parameters on which designing of lift depends such as Rate load, rated speed, Height of travel, the number and location of stops, type of drive etc. The motor which will be used for lifting the load will be D.C series motor and the type of drive is gearless traction drive. The gearless traction drive is preferred over geared traction drive because it provides higher efficiency.
