Resumen

Cranes are widely used in various industries, including the fishing industry, due to their ability to lift and move loads efficiently and safely. This research aims to design and validate an innovative davit crane, specifically adapted to improve efficiency and safety in artisanal fishing. Through the use of CAD tools, simulations in Ansys, it was shown that the crane optimizes the handling of loads and significantly reduces the physical effort of fishermen, which increases work safety. The results indicate that the implementation of this technology can have a significant impact on the sustainability and productivity of artisanal fishing, offering a practical solution adaptable to diverse fishing communities. In conclusion, the adoption of this crane in the docks will contribute to mitigating the ergonomic problems commonly faced by artisanal fishermen, improving their working conditions and improving their quality of life.
