Abstract
Harvesting of mangosteen is manually by climbing trees or using simple harvesting tools that made from bamboo. In order to increase productivity, it is necessary to design mangosteen harvesting equipment by referring to harvesting anthropometry. Anthropometric data were collected from 30 (thirty) mangosteen harvesters which included height, shoulder height, knee height, arm length, hand reach up to grip, front hand reach, palm length, index finger and thumb diameter to the middle finger. The making of the tool refers to the 5th percentile data to get the maximum dimension of the tool for farmers who have SMAll and comfortable bodies for those who have large bodies. The results showed that the average harvesting height was 150 cm, shoulder height 125 cm, knee height 37.92 cm, arm length 47.62 cm, hand reach above grip 177.54 cm, forward hand reach 65.67 cm, the front hand reaches 59.45 cm, the thumb grip diameter to the index finger 37.70 mm, and the thumb grip diameter to the middle finger is 44.17 mm. Based on the anthropometric data, the design of the harvesting equipment was obtained using a telescopic system with a length of 3 m which can be shortened to 1.5 m, the diameter of the handle 3.2 cm, and the shape of the mangosteen fruit resembling the letter “V” with an aluminium plate construction.

Summary
Pemanenan manggis saat ini dilakukan secara manual dengan cara memanjat pohon atau menggunakan alat panen sederhana yang terbuat dari bambu. Data antropometri dikumpulkan dari 30 (tiga puluh) pemanen manggis yang meliputi tinggi badan, tinggi bahu, tinggi lutut, panjang lengan, jangkauan tangan keatas menggenggam, jangkauan tangan kedepan menggenggam, panjang telapak tangan, diameter ibu jari ke jari telunjuk, dan diameter ibu jari ke jari tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata tinggi badan pemanen adalah 150 cm, tinggi bahu 125 cm, tinggi lutut 37,92 cm, panjang lengan 47,62 cm, jangkauan tangan keatas menggenggam 177,54 cm, jangkauan tangan kedepan terbuka 65,67 cm, jangkauan tangan kedepan menggenggam 59,45 cm, diameter genggaman ibu jari ke jari telunjuk 37,70 mm, dan diameter genggaman ibu jari ke jari tengah adalah 44,17 mm. Berdasarkan data antropometri tersebut didapatkan desain alat panen menggunakan sistem teleskopik dengan panjang 3 m yang dapat dipendekkan menjadi 1,5 m, diameter galah 3,2 cm, dan bentuk penampung buah manggis menyerupai huruf “V” dengan konstruksi terbuat dari plat aluminium.
