A low-profile adjustable height operator platform includes a low-profile frame, which includes a plurality of struts, and one or more kick plates. The one or more kick plates flank the perimeter of the low-profile frame, acting to structurally support the low-profile so that the platform can achieve a low profile without sacrificing its holding capacity. The low profile of the platform (e.g., being as low as two inches from the ground surface) enables the platform to accommodate and support operators of a variety of heights.

A work scaffold having a platform and leg assemblies rotatably attached to each end of the platform. The platform may have a handle connected to free end that extends out the sides of the platform, which engage with links attached to the leg assemblies and the platform to lock the scaffold in an open or closed position. The platform may have hooks that extend out beyond the ends of the platform from under the platform so a second work scaffold can be situated on the hooks. The platform may be formed of boards with holes that receive cross members. A method for using a work scaffold. A method for forming a work scaffold.

An adjustable mechanic apparatus to facilitate elevated access to a vehicle, including a bottom frame portion to allow a user to stand thereupon, the bottom portion including a bottom central planar surface to be disposed near a front portion or a rear portion of the vehicle, the bottom central planar surface having a length that is longer than a width of the vehicle, and such that the bottom central planar surface is disposed substantially perpendicularly with respect to a length of the vehicle, a first bottom planar support surface disposed perpendicularly away from a first end of the bottom central planar surface with respect to a first lateral direction, a second bottom planar support surface disposed perpendicularly away from a second end of the bottom central planar surface with respect to the first lateral direction, and a plurality of adjustable legs removably connected to at least a portion of at least one of a bottom portion of the bottom central planar surface, a bottom portion of the first bottom planar support surface, and a bottom portion of the second bottom planar support frame to allow the bottom surface portion to be elevated above a ground surface, and a top frame portion to extend perpendicularly away from a top surface of the bottom frame portion in a second direction to create a wall-like structure that prevents the user from falling onto the vehicle.

A vehicle and method of tending to an elevated agriculture includes a base extending from a forward base portion to a rearward base portion, a support frame, an elevated platform, a guide rail, and a drive unit. The elevated platform is connected to the support frame such that the elevated platform is positioned vertically above the base and horizontally between the forward and rearward base portions. The elevated platform is configured to selectively, vertically raise upward from a lower height toward a higher height. The guide rail extends vertically upward from the elevated platform and horizontally surrounds at least a portion of the elevated platform for bounding an operator atop the elevated platform. The drive unit is configured to selectively direct horizontal movement of the base with the elevated platform thereon for supporting the operator on the elevated platform while moving the elevated platform within the agriculture facility.

A method of tending to livestock within a livestock confinement facility includes a vehicle having a support frame, a drive unit, and an elevated platform. The support frame extends vertically upward from a base and has a lower portion and an upper portion with the drive unit being operatively attached to the base. The elevated platform is affixed to the upper portion of the support frame and configured to support an operator thereon while moving along the livestock confinement facility. The method includes supporting the operator on the elevated platform within the livestock confinement facility. The method further includes moving the vehicle along a floor of the livestock confinement facility in order to move the operator along the livestock confinement facility from atop the elevated platform such that the operator tends to livestock from atop the elevated platform.

A telescoping work platform utilizing three planks that are slidable to each other allows for a longer maximum length for use while providing for a shorter collapsed length for storage all while providing necessary structural support. The two outer planks comprise prongs that slide within channels of the inner plank.
