A modular system for constructing an elevated pathway includes a first pathway segment comprising a first elevated platform portion; first edge supports to bare a load of the first elevated platform portion, wherein the first edge supports contact a ground surface and create a grade separation between the ground surface and a bottom side of the first elevated platform portion; and a first joint. The modular system also includes a second pathway segment comprising: a second elevated platform portion; second edge supports to bare a load of the second elevated platform portion, wherein the second edge supports contact the ground surface and create a grade separation between the ground surface and a bottom side of the second elevated platform portion; and a second joint to attach to the first joint to limit a motion of the second pathway segment relative to the first pathway segment.

A construction elevator arrangement and a method for producing the same includes a hoisting machinery, an electric cabinet, and cable drums positioned at the bottom of the shaft, an elevator car and a counterweight moving in the shaft, upper pulleys and rope suspenders fixed at an upper end of the lifting height of the construction elevator, and hoisting ropes being fixed to the rope suspenders during the operation of the construction elevator and gliding through the rope suspenders during an upwards jump of the construction elevator in the shaft. The hoisting ropes pass in a 2:1 roping between the car, the upper pulleys, the traction sheave, the counterweight, and the rope suspenders.

A combined stairway and platform used in scaffolding systems. A stairway and platform system includes a stairway having steps, a top landing platform and a bottom landing platform, wherein the top and bottom landing platforms are integrally formed with the stairway. The top and bottom landing platforms are attachable to a scaffolding frame. An upper and lower end panel, to which a handrail is attached, are configured to attach to the scaffolding frame.

A temporary step and support assembly includes two primary portions: an attachment member and a horizontal surface member. The attachment member preferably includes three sides for engaging a board or other fixed support, wherein the first side and the third side are disposed in parallel relation, and the second side is preferably angled upwardly from the first side to the third side. The horizontal support member, extends from the first side of the attachment member, and serves as a temporary step, so that a user may attach the temporary step and support assembly to a board or other fixed support for standing or climbing to reach a greater height in an upward direction. Optionally, the horizontal support member may be angularly adjustable with respect to the attachment member for use on angled fixed support studs, boards or framing.
