This study aims to develop equipment that will help maintain the vehicle's undercarriage. The thesis study titled "Development of Hydraulic Car Ramp Lifter" was created to ergonomically aid the hardship experienced by auto mechanics while lifting vehicles and help reduce time while repairing components under the vehicle. The car ramp structure comprises an angle bar and a flat bar; the main components are a hydraulic bottle jack, DC motor, steering pump, steel tube, telescopic square tube, power push button, and steel plate. The DC motor drives the steering pump using mechanical energy, and the steering pump generates hydraulic energy. The equipment can lift a vehicle weighing up to 5,000 kg without difficulty. It can be lifted to 600 mm. Using the steering pump and DC motor, the light vehicles can be lifted in 11 to 16 seconds. There is a significant difference in the speed of operation using the manual method with the jack and using the equipment developed by the researchers. Fifty respondents assessed the project prototype's outcome in terms of functionality, aesthetics, durability, workability, ergonomics, and safety. The overall average mean is 4.74, with a “highly acceptable” descriptive rating. The prototype has shown promising results from the six evaluation criteria, and the car ramp with hydraulic jack operation can perform the intended task.
