    In the present work, the design and construction of a geriatric crane-type elevator was carried out, in order to carry out the transfer of people with functional dependence on the bed to their wheelchair or other resting place in a safe way for both the patient and the patient. for the nursing staff who perform manipulation of the patient. In the initial part, the information was collected to establish the edge conditions, once established, the bending design of the beams was carried out and their maximum deformation was calculated according to the Von Mises theory of failure, the same that is within within acceptable ranges without generating interference between machine components. To complement the design of the structure, the simulation was carried out using Solid Works software where the load and displacement restrictions were applied, resembling the real working conditions, the results obtained were favorable both in displacement and in the distribution of efforts in the elements of the geriatric crane. Using the REBA method, it was possible to know the risk to which the nursing staff is exposed when performing manual manipulation of patients; once the geriatric lift was implemented, this value decreased and an acceptable risk was reached
