EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to develop a Modified Heavy Duty Tire Carrier. It also sought to evaluate the level of usefulness, functionality, safety and maintenance and durability of the device. The questionnaire-checklist was used as major instrument in gathering the needed data. The study was conducted at the University of Rizal System, Morong Campus, College of Industrial Technology Automotive Shops during second semester of school year 2017-2018 and first semester of school year 2018-2019. The researchers developed the Modified Heavy Duty Tire Carrier utilizing descriptive and developmental method of research. It anchored on the Coomb's system approach and principles of hydraulic. The respondents of the study were ten College of Industrial Technology professors and Auto-Technicians in Automotive Technology and twenty fourth year students taking up Bachelor of Technology major in Automotive and Mechanical Technology at the same university. Purposive sampling technique was used by the researchers in selecting respondents, since, they were engaged and exposed in Automotive Technology and Mechanical Technology In general, the acceptability of the project as evaluated by the experts and end-users was "Very Much Accepted" Based from the result of the study the researchers concluded that there was no significant difference on the Modified Heavy Duty Tire Carrier with respect to perception of the respondents on level of its acceptability in terms usefulness, functionality, safety and maintenance and durability.
