Trailer
Designed at NCSU with cooperation of John Deere, 2001

It is a hybrid trailer, combining the advantages of both open and enclosed conditions. The concept provides three different configurations for the users' different needs.

The project was a team work. The team includes five people: three Business Management majors, one Mechanical Engineering major, and one Industrial Design major. I was responsible to Industrial Design part.

We intend to design and develop a custom engineered trailer constructed for transporting commercial cutters
(& accessories) to reduce in-transit damage to equipment, provide ease of use, safety, and more efficient loading
and unloading. The trailer should also be corrosion-resistant, made of environmentally friendly materials, and
durable in all weather conditions.

We started with five potential concepts, which we then reduced to two. Finally, we came to the final concept, three-edition hybrid trailer. The final product was developed through extensive design, technical and market analysis. Market data was collected from the potential customer to identify the customer needs. Technical analysis was completed to validate the durability and reliability of the product. Design tradeoff analyses were conducted throughout the entire process to make final decisions.
