Complex design that offers high mobility while ensuring security. These are engineering platforms. These vehicles have a high weight and are generally very large. Wheel-drive systems (e.g., 4x4, 6x6, 8x8) efficiently distribute engine power to the wheels. It necessitates extremely robust power transmission systems that will ensure the transmission of power in some way. This system's essential components, the power transmission shafts, transmit high torque. designed for this purpose, and therefore manufactured from special materials, large-scale and single These are structures that are too heavy and rigid for one person to carry safely. The 25 in question... shafts, suspension components, exhaust systems and in the armored undercarriage of the vehicle Among other structural components, it is located within a rather narrow and difficult-to-access volume; This situation makes the assembly and disassembly operations of the shafts a technical challenge. brings 30 2 In current technology, lifting these heavy power transmission shafts to the mounting position for traditional workshop equipment such as cranes, forklifts or scissor lifts its use, the vehicle's underbody architecture, armor plates and other mechanical components This is not possible due to the volumetric limitations it creates. These pieces of equipment are narrow. precise maneuvering in the field and accurately positioning the shaft at the final assembly point 5 They lack the capability, which makes their use practically impossible. In the current technology, the shaft cannot be used as a result of the inability to use standard lifting equipment. Assembly is usually done manually, relying on the physical strength of two people, and is often unsafe. It is carried out under extremely inconvenient conditions. Operators work in ergonomically unfavorable conditions. They have to work in positions where they have to assemble the heavy shaft by passing it through narrow spaces. It is trying to bring it to that position. For this process, a defined safe and standard method is needed. The absence of a procedure leaves the operation entirely dependent on the immediate strength and attention of the personnel. It makes you addicted. 15 In current technology, the shaft, once brought to the mounting position, is secured with connecting bolts or flanges. it will be held in the air by the staff until it is attached and tightened to secure it. This is necessary. This critical stage poses significant safety risks for operators. Hand and In addition to the risk of injuries such as finger entrapment, staff fatigue or It is also possible for the heavy shaft to fall as a result of losing its balance. A falling shaft can damage both its own 20 to its structure (e.g. flange surfaces) and other sensitive components on the vehicle, Damaging painted surfaces or floor coverings, leading to additional costs and repairs. This leads to these processes. The muscle-powered method used in the current technique is by its nature quite slow and takes 25 It is inefficient. The assembly operation requires multiple personnel to work in coordination for a long period of time. This requires it to work in some way, which both increases the total assembly time and This also increases labor costs. The slowness of the process steps and Low repeatability leads to productivity losses in the production or maintenance line and This leads to bottlenecks. 30 3 In conclusion, in order to solve the aforementioned problems that exist in the current technology, The need for a new, economical, and practical mounting bracket and the existing solutions The deficiency has made it necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. 5 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and contribute to the relevant technical field. A powertrain system for land vehicles, developed to bring new advantages. the shafts can be safely transported to their mounting positions in confined spaces and 10 It relates to a mobile mounting bracket that enables its positioning. The main objective of the invention is to transform the power transmission system shafts of military land vehicles into a functional system for the vehicle. to narrow and hard-to-reach mounting locations underneath, conventional lifting equipment or It allows for safe and practical transportation without the need for human intervention, and with a delicate 15 The goal is to develop a mounting bracket that allows it to be positioned in this way. Another important objective of the invention is to make shaft assembly operations entirely manual for personnel. The goal is to free operators from dependence on brute force. This allows them to work in ergonomically challenging conditions. Fatigue and strain resulting from working in these positions are eliminated; 20 Workplace safety is maximized by minimizing the risk of serious injuries such as hand and finger entrapment. is raised to the level. Another important purpose of the invention is to allow the shaft to be assembled by attaching the connecting elements. The goal is to ensure the object is held stably and securely in the desired position until it is no longer held. 25 Thanks to the device's movable table, the shaft can be extended and rotated with millimeter precision. It can be adjusted and fixed in place. This allows personnel to hold heavy loads. while eliminating the necessity, the shaft may fall as a result of uncontrolled movements. It completely eliminates the risk of damaging itself or other components on the vehicle. 30 4 Another important objective of the invention is to increase efficiency in assembly and disassembly processes. This device standardizes and speeds up the operation steps compared to the manual method. Thanks to this, the number of personnel required for the process is reduced and the total operation time is significantly improved. This is shortened to a certain extent. This saves both labor and time, thus increasing production and efficiency. It creates a cost advantage in maintenance processes. 5 The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. This becomes clearer thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures. This will be understood, and therefore the evaluation should also take these forms and detailed explanations into consideration.
