An apparatus for supporting workers and materials above-grade on both the cave and gable ends of a structure is disclosed. The apparatus can be combined with one or more additional staging apparatuses to create a staging system for the support of persons or materials while work is being done on a structure, e.g., roofing, siding, etc. The modular design of the apparatus simplifies installation, such that it can be readily attached to a roof or other support member of a structure by a single person, and facilitates the adjustable vertical positioning of people or materials along the walls of the structure. The staging system can also include a rail member for safety support and alternative scaffolding arrangements.

A scaffolding arrangement for a building outer wall, comprising a plurality of anchor bolts arranged at a distance from each other at least in the horizontal direction, including tube clamps connected to the anchor bolts, a horizontally extended rail, the rail being fixed to the tube clamps, a scaffolding as well as a connecting device for fixing the scaffolding to the rail. The connecting device provides a first coupling encompassing the rail as well as a second coupling encompassing a tube element of the scaffolding and a coupling connector for connecting the first coupling to the second coupling.

The disclosure relates to a work over platform apparatus, system, and method of use with trenches and cellars. The apparatus includes two platform portions joined at the center by a set of hinges. The set of hinges is divided to allow for cutouts in each of the platform portions. When deployed the cutout portions are aligned to form an opening that allows work personnel to access the cellar through the work over platform. The work over platform may be collapsed along its hinges for compact transport to and from a work site. The system includes multiple apparatuses positioned adjacent to one another along the same cellar. Outriggers for guidelines are positioned in a novel spider leg fashion to allow greater accessibility to the platform by vehicles. The method includes deploying, using, and collapsing the apparatus.

The present invention relates to a support frame for use with an edge protection system for elevated structures, such as building rooves. The support frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion mounted together so as to be axially slidable relative one another between an extended position for locating a post of the edge protection system alongside a roof edge of a building and a retracted position. The support frame further includes a coupling mount extending from an uppermost frame member for coupling to a portion of the building adjacent the roof edge and for receiving and supporting the post in an upright position alongside the roof edge of the building.

A brace for a pump jack scaffold pole. The brace has a first leg and a second leg, each extending between a mounting portion and a pole retaining portion. The mounting portion is configured to be secured to a structural member by a latch secured to the pole retaining portion. The latch is configured to releasably secure the pole therein. A safety catch is secured to at least one of the legs, the latch, and the pole retaining portion. The safety catch is being configured to releasably secure the pole therein.

A platform (10) comprising two or more ladders (20, 30), of the type having stiles (25, 26) and rungs (40), releasably attachable together in a side-by-side arrangement such that the rungs of each ladder are in the same plane, at least two of the rungs on each ladder being hollow, the platform further comprising a first elongate member (50) arranged to pass through co-axially positioned hollow rungs of each ladder, the first elongate member comprising a widened portion at one end thereof, and a releasable locking member (60) at the other end thereof, to releasably clamp the ladders together, the platform further comprising at least one deck plate (110) arrangeable on the rungs of one of the two or more ladders to form a deck.

To ensure maintenance operations for an architectural structure using a mast climber without any limitation on the stability of a mast and locations where a mast can be erected. A side wall 101 of an architectural structure 100 is fitted with a fixing member 130 at a level higher than the ground 500. The fixing member 130 is fitted with fixture studs 132. A mast 200 is erected on the fixing member 130 with its lower end secured to the fixture studs 132. A climbing work platform 210 that travels up and down the mast 200 is fixed to the mast 200. A worker performs maintenance operations on the climbing work platform 210.
