Abstract: The coconut tree is one of the useful plants among all other plants. Due to the lack of coconut tree climbers worldwide, many coconut palm growers are not interested in cultivating coconut farming. Based on the above problem, numerous researchers have developed various climbing mechanisms. To overcome this problem, a novel coconut tree climbing device (CTCD) was introduced which can climb the coconut tree up to the canopy. To check the deformation behaviour and generated stresses of various parts of the device in the present research work, the authors conducted dynamic analysis, such as modal, harmonic, and transient analysis in ANSYS 2021. Moreover, the dynamic properties of each component will also be tested under vibrational excitation. Therefore, one of the vibrational properties, that is, the natural frequency, is used to analyse the effect of transient loads and avoid the noise and vibration hazards in the components of the coconut tree climbing mechanism.
