Abstract

This paper describes the working of a coconut tree climbing machine. Primary goal of the project is to design a coconut tree climbing device for farmers and residents. It is very difficult to climb on coconut tree due to the constant cylindrical structure and single stem. In other type of trees there will be branches for holding and to support the climber. A professional climber with proper training only is able to climb coconut tree. Due to the risk involved, nowadays a very few are coming forward to climb on coconut trees. Considering this scenario, a device which will help the user to climb coconut tree easily will be useful for the people who is having large coconut cultivation as well as residents who is having less coconut trees. This kind of devices will encourage more people to come forward to
agricultural sector.
