6.   WORKING:

•   Air well known a compressible medium is used to store the potential energy from the self weight of the trailer.

•   Once when thus stored potential energy is released it acts as the passive weight lifter.

•   Thus the power inlet to the hydraulic  valve is considerably reduced say 1I2tonnnes.

•   The  fuel consumption  per  lift  is  noted  to  be  reduced  to  a considerable amount of 150ml which is about 6Rs.

•   The designed  pneumatic  weight  lifter  is  fabricated  in such way  that   it   can  self   lock  in  any  position  left   by  the conventional hydraulic weight lifter.

•   Hence  there  is  no  fear  of  automated  lift  up  of  the  trailer irrespective of the operator's commands.
