The invention relates to a metal fitting for a toeboard of a scaffolding, comprising a metal fitting body extending in a longitudinal direction of the metal fitting body from a first end region of the metal fitting body designed for connection to a toeboard and/or connected to a toeboard to a second end region of the metal fitting body designed for securing on a scaffolding, wherein at least one securing protrusion is provided in the second end region of the metal fitting body extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the metal fitting body, characterized in that at least one support protrusion is provided extending in a first transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the metal fitting body.

A modular platform system utilizing a number of components including a platform. The platform is configured so that each of the components may interchangeably connect to any side of the platform. The components include, for example, handrails and stairways, as well as other platforms. The platform and most of the components are formed from single, continuous pieces of metal.

A connector for a scaffolding system includes end portions and a central portion. The central portion includes raised upper and side regions that protrude outward. Raised side regions of the central portion also includes an indent disposed distally from the raised upper region. The end portions are securable to a support beam of the scaffolding system, where the raised upper region is substantially coplanar with an upper wall of the support beam when the support beam is coupled to an end portion.

The safety of scaffolding is enhanced by providing a scaffolding toe board system comprising a plurality of toe boards constructed of a panel and a pair of brackets used to couple the ends of the panel to adjacent support posts of the scaffolding. The brackets are all identical, quick and easy to deploy, and designed so that the brackets of two toe boards coupled to the same support post will not interfere with each other.

An elevating cage system includes floor panels for a walk surface that can pivot upward to expose a portion of a container disposed below the platform. Each floor panel has a latch that pivots to engage a cage railing surrounding the platform and hold the floor panel in an open position. The latch is weighted about a pivot so that when the panel is pivoted to a completely open position, the latch pivots under its own weight to engage a stop so that the latch is disposed in an orientation to engage the handrail and hold the panel in the open position until an operator releases the latch. When the panel pivots to its closed position, the latch's weight balance about its pivot causes the latch to rotate until the latch engages the stop and is held in a stowed orientation in which the latch is entirely below a plane of an upper surface of the panel.

A scaffolding element having a scaffolding pole, at least one fastening element being disposed or formed on the scaffolding pole. The fastening element preferably has a fastening element body. The fastening element body can be L-shaped. Preferably, the free end of the fastening element body points straight upwards when the scaffolding element is in the mounted state. A projection is disposed or formed below the free end on the fastening element body, in particular in a section parallel to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding pole. The projection can be part of a U-shaped bead.

A scaffold toeboard assembly including a toeboard frame having a toeboard coupled to a riser with a first and second end, with a lift handle coupled to the first end, and a toeboard coupled to the second end. The assembly further including a support frame having a vertical support with an attachment member configured to couple to a scaffold swing gate, wherein the riser is slidably coupled to the vertical support.
