Abstract - This machine is basically works on the principle of Single Slider Crank Mechanism. Which is the
heart of this machine and it converts rotary motion into a reciprocating motion. Here Fabricated the
conveyor using crank mechanism machine, this project can be utilized in industry. Industries in worldwide
use conveyors as a mechanism to transport boxes from place. This mechanism do not includes strong belts,
pulleys and heavy motors to rotate the pulley to move the conveyor. As an alternative to this conveyor type,
more simple and comfortable machine using four bar mechanism can be used. This box shifting machine
helps in transfer of boxes smoothly by use of four bars with a simple arrangement. The four bar mechanism
includes four links. One link is fixed and the other links act as crank, follower and connecting rod. The rotary
motion of the crank is transferred to the follower by using connecting rod and is converted to the same
rotary motion. This machine requires an electric motor to provide input to the system.

2.1 Linkage Mechanism
A linkage is a mechanism formed by connecting two

or more levers together. Linkages can be designed to
change the direction of a force or make two or more
objects move at the same time. Many different fasteners
are used to connect linkages together yet allow them to
move freely such as pins, end-threaded bolts with nuts,
