Abstract
The mechanical transfer lift is a device used to assist caretakers when transferring patients from one position to another. While using a manual transfer method, they need to extract a large amount of energy to transfer the patient; resulting in back pain and stress. From the engineering design process, the main objective of this research is to come out with the conceptual design of a transferring device; which is compatible to use in a hospital environment. The design should allow caretakers to transfer a patient with less work as possible, at the same time is easy to handle, portable and ergonomic. The details regarding each design concept have been highlighted and discussed accordingly. In the future, further improvement shall be applied towards the design during the preliminary and detail design stage.
