    Giving solution to the need of count on a tool that helps workers to execute works on level, as a classic work on scaffolding occupy space that could be better used, without count on limited performance that entails use of these, also the risk of its labor is associated. Through previous researches, was discovered that many countries implement pairs of stilts as a mechanical tool that support works on levels, these stilts have a special design that helps worker to have more stability and could realize its work without difficulties; finding factibility on this solution, it proceeded to considering anthropometric measures on its design, calculation and construction. In this project a population research was made and workers cores, for can take the established measures, these would be tabulated and analyzed with the purpose of getting most appropriate percentile, being these the basis of the design. The material selection depended on costs and availability in markets; calculations was made through design’s books specifications. The pairs of stilts were built on a way to comply ergonomics and anthropometrics criteria with population of workers comfort. With this project was achieved designing and build a pair of stilts that can support a maximum load of 88.02 kg, these have a weight of 6.10 pounds; high safety factors were used on pipes, since it had to be selected from the market, the most critical factor is 5, 41; it helps to understand that pair of stilts would have a longer lifespan.
