Design of a Car Mounted structure
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
The design of a multi purpose car mounted structure that can be mounted on the hitch of a specific SUV without the need for wheels to be on the ground and that have a specific weight limit on this hitch.
The structure is to be durable to hold a weight limit of a maximum 200 Kg and in accordance with the car manufacturer's weight limit on the car hitch. In addition, it must be analyzed for maximum speed and slope and must not affect the stability of the car in any way that can affect the safety of the passengers.

Design specification:
The idea of this project is to create a steel structure that can be mounted on the hitch of the car in ways that can help customers use it to transport heavy loads or for any other application without the need to use a regular trailer. This structure would comprise of steel beams, rods and hollow tubes. It must not be bigger than the width of the car and it must comply with the standard sizes of the hitch provided by the car manufacturer. In addition, the structure must contain a mechanism to pull down wheels on the floor to use it like a trolley when not attached to a car ( something like landing gears of an airplane). This mechanism must retract and erect based on the needs of the application. In addition, a support rods must be designed as well to be placed when the structure is attached to the hitch and is stationary to help support the weight of a human standing on it and to be removed during transportation. The maximum weight limit of this structure must be based on the maximum weight limit an SUV hitch can hold plus the weight of the structure itself. This weight limit must be maximized to the limit while taking into account a safety factor.
The project will consist of five milestones that can be discussed in person.
Freelancer needed for this project must have a good understanding of mechanical design and manufacturing concepts and good skills in Solidworks, Solidworks simulation and animation.
