In the design industry different components of material handling equipment are generally manufactured by the steel section. In this article, we have tried to design the equipment in such a way that it consumes minimum steel. In this research of the economical design different components have been described. In this part of research, designing a stacker reclaimer in software STAAD PRO. By assuming dimensions, designing the stacker reclaimer of boom size 22m and capacity of 50 tons per hour. The basic requirement of design are taken as per Indian standard Code provision which is suitable. In this project, assumption are made for probable major load which is applied to stacker reclaimer when it is actually in use at site. In this project we get the steel section which have minimum weight and safe in transferring the probable load acting on it. And also we are interested in getting the most suitable shape which have maximum capacity to move bulk material with minimum cross section so, that we can minimize the material cost which is used in construction of the bucket wheel.
