A base for use with scaffolding. The base includes side support members and cross members. The side support members have scaffold receiving members provided at ends thereof. The cross members extend between the side support members and are rotatably mounted to the side support members. Wheels are mounted to the cross members. As the cross members are rotated from a first position to a second position, the wheels are moved from an initial position in which the wheels are spaced from a ground or floor surface to a second position in which the wheels are positioned in engagement with the ground or floor surface.

The present invention relates to a novel utility scaffold device. The device is a multifunctional scaffolding featuring a set of detachable steps and a slide locking gate. The utility scaffold device comprises a base component which is a workspace that is approximately six feet in length and three feet wide. Further, a horizontal bar positioned around the base component is secured by four vertical bars, to provide a handrail for the user. Additionally, four vertical legs are secured on the underside of the base component with a large wheel at each end for facilitating movement over any type of terrain. The base component also comprises a locking gate that provides entrance to the base component and a set of detachable stairs in front of the gate to allow a user to easily enter and exit the device.

A scaffold motorization system for motorizing a scaffold and a method for motorizing a scaffold. The scaffold may include one or more platforms and a set of legs supporting the one of more platforms. The scaffold motorization system may comprise: a set of wheel assemblies configured to be releasably mounted to at least some legs in the set of legs of the scaffold, the set of wheel assemblies including a set of wheels and at least one motor configured to drive wheels in the set of wheels; and a controller in communication with the set of wheel assemblies for controlling the least one motor to drive the wheels in the set of wheels at least in part in response to control signals received from a control device operated by a person.

Work platform, comprising an elevatable platform deck provided with a rail system having one or more rails extending in a longitudinal direction along a trailing edge of the deck; a trolley engaging with the one or more rails and configured for being moved in the longitudinal direction; and a crane device mounted on the trolley, configured for lifting and moving objects above the platform surface.

The claimed invention relates to a folding utility scaffold that greatly reduces the space requirement for shipment when the utility scaffold is in the folded configuration while maintaining or increasing stability. The scaffold includes first and second ladder frames and a hinge assembly interconnecting the ladder frames. The scaffold comprises first and second ladder frames and a hinge assembly interconnecting the ladder frames. The hinge assembly enables movement of the scaffold between an unfolded configuration in which the ladder frames are spaced apart and a folded configuration in which the ladder frames are disposed side by side, i.e., with the ladder frames touching. The ladder frame and hinge assembly are designed to avoid interference between components of the hinge assembly and components of the ladder frame in the folded configuration so that the ladder frames can be disposed in side-by-side relation in the folded configuration.

The inflatable scaffolding is a self-erecting structure that forms a raised working platform similar to a scaffolding. The inflatable scaffolding comprises a plurality of inflatable bladders, a flooring, a guarding, a ladder, and a pump. The plurality of inflatable bladders is a stack of bladders. When pressurized air provided by the pump inflates one or more bladders selected from the plurality of bladders, the span of the distance of the vertical height is increased. The flooring and the guarding are located on the surface of the plurality of inflatable bladders distal from the supporting surface. When each of the one or more selected bladders is fully inflated, flooring and the guarding form a raised working platform that is similar to the structure commonly referred to as scaffolding. To erect the scaffolding to it greatest vertical height, all the inflatable bladders contained within the plurality of inflatable bladders are inflated.
