Hi, I can help develop the mechanical design package for your 300 kg, 3 m travel vertical platform lift, with a strong focus on manufacturability, structural integrity, and safety-critical design considerations. I’ll develop the 3D assembly in the agreed CAD platform and provide the native files alongside STEP exports. The design package can include detailed part, assembly, and weldment drawings with appropriate dimensions and tolerances, together with a structured BOM covering fabricated and off-the-shelf components. I’m comfortable working to a 2–3 week initial design-package target, subject to confirming the applicable standards, installation environment, duty cycle, and required safety provisions. Regards, Neha
