Design Of Lifting Aid Materials To Optimize Waste Loading Into Sealed Containers

Waste management in a field from 2016 to 2017 carried out using closed containers can only load 10 Jumbo Bags with an average weight of 6.74 tons per container. While the waste management cost component, 51.7% is influenced by the cost of transportation through containers. The problem of loading waste during handling is greatly influenced by the lifting aids used for loading so that it can maximize the loading of waste into closed containers which are transportation tools used to transport waste. This study will focus on designing lifting aid materials for loading waste into sealed containers.. The material used is 6" sch 40 pipe and 3“sch 40 pipe. The design was first simulated using stress analysis software to determine the threshold of yield strength of the material used. After production of the lifting aid, the welded joints was tested with magnetic testing which shows no defect.. The lifting aid is able to optimize the loading of waste as much as 1968 tons using 130 containers where each container contains 15 jumbo bags and weighs 15.14 tons. This can reduce the number of containers that are a major cost component in transporting waste.
