An arrangement for overcoming heights or vertical distances, such as, in particular, high-voltage towers, towers for wind installations, buildings, high-bay warehouses, etc., has a longitudinally extended, rail-like profile (7) or guide member, and at least one portable lift element which is releasably fastenable to the profile, consisting of a driving part (3) which is movable up and down along the profile or guide member and a platform (5) for receiving at least one person or loads.

A platform assembly, such as for a utility or communications monopole, can include a central mounting bracket, such as can be configured for mounting about a monopole. One or more or at least three platforms can extend laterally from the central mounting bracket. One or more or at least three lower rails can extend between adjacent pairs of the platforms. One or more or at least three upper rails can be located above respective lower rails. A plurality of vertical mounting pipes can interconnect respective upper rails to corresponding lower rails. Such vertical mounting pipes can support the respective upper rails with respect to the corresponding lower rails. One or more or at least three corner connection plates can extend between adjacent upper rails. A vertical support pedestal can connect at least one of the corner connection plates to an underlying one of the one or more or at least three platforms.

A mounting assembly can include or use a pole attachment mount, first, second, and third arms, respectively including proximal ends that are respectively couplable to the pole attachment mount, the proximal end of the second arm located between the proximal ends of the first and third arms, a first face member, coupled to a distal end of the first arm and coupled to a distal end of the second arm and a second face member, coupled to a distal end of the third arm and coupled to a distal end of the second arm. Multiple mounting assemblies can he attached to a pole such as to provide a mounting surface for communications equipment and orienting the same such as to cover multiple azimuths around the pole.

A platform system includes a support structure of variable length; a platform mountable on the support structure; and a plurality of platform supports for supporting the platform. At least one of the platform supports is slideably mounted on the support structure such that it is slideable with respect to the support structure. At least one of the platform supports includes a spacing element, which extends between that platform support and an adjacent one of the platform supports and engages the adjacent platform support, such that the maximum spacing between those platform supports is limited by the spacing element.

A safety landing may include a first support panel positionable within the shaft and having a first support surface and a second support surface spaced apart from the first support surface. At least a first platform may have a first end that is movably connected to the first support panel and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The first platform may have an upper surface, an opposing lower surface and an end surface at the first end. The first platform may be movably between a closed position in which the first platform extends laterally across the shaft, and in which the lower surface rests on the first support surface and an open position in which the first platform is generally upright and the end surface of the first platform rests on the second support surface.

A system and method for construction of a framed structure which permits on-site storage and relocation of construction materials using trolleys and cranes supported by the framed structure. The system provides a runway surface for removable attachment of trolleys, crane bridges, and platforms by offsetting the first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam from a cross beam and where the first longitudinal beam, second longitudinal beam, and cross beam of the system provide components for the framed structure.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scaffolding arrangement to be attached to a deck structure, comprising a set of aims (2) including a carrier beam (5) for carrying the working levels and support structures needed in work, an attachment frame (1) for attaching the set of arms to the upper surface of the deck structure and platforms (103, 104, 105) for forming working levels.

A demolishing method utilizes an aggregate stack demolishing scaffold apparatus mounted to an upper part of an aggregate stack including four smoke funnels arranged adjacent to each other. An uneven scaffold including one plate-shaped upper scaffold portion is placed on an upper end of each smoke funnel. A lower scaffold portion is coupled to the upper scaffold portion and located in lower positions in the smoke funnels with the upper scaffold portion being placed on the upper ends of the smoke funnels. A chain block suspends and supports the uneven scaffold from and on an inner wall of each smoke funnel, and adjusts a suspending height. With this configuration, the upper scaffold portion is located on the upper ends of the smoke funnels, and thus there is no possibility of contact between the scaffolds in the smoke funnels causing a worker to lose his balance, thereby improving safety.
