Abstract

This project involves the design and development of a Motorized Scissor Jack system aimed at reducing manual effort and improving the safety and efficiency of vehicle lifting tasks. The project addresses the common problem faced by vehicle users when lifting their cars using conventional manual jacks, which require significant physical strength and time. The main objective is to create a portable, automated lifting system that can be powered by a car battery and controlled easily by the user. The proposed system uses a stepper motor, a scissor jack mechanism, and an Arduino UNO microcontroller to automate the lifting process. The methodology includes identifying suitable components, designing the control circuit, fabricating the frame, and integrating all parts into a working prototype. The result is a functional system that enables easy vehicle lifting with minimal user interaction. This motorized jack offers a cost- effective and user-friendly solution for car owners, mechanics, and service workshops, while also improving safety and convenience in everyday automotive maintenance
