An adjustable platform extension bracket for work platform systems comprises a post member having two posts joined by a plurality of positional structures. A first connection portion forms a first channel such that the first connection portion is symmetrical along an axis parallel with and passing through the channel. The post member is slidingly engaged in the first channel such that at least one of the positional structures is positionable in the channel. The bracket does not require any diagonal support. The dimensions of work platforms, particularly suspended work platform systems, may be extended using the adjustable platform extension bracket.

An end connector for a horizontal scaffold member includes two sidewalls that are substantially parallel joined to a pipe. Each side wall has two spaced apart engagement section. The sidewalls extend into the interior of the pipe and remain substantially parallel in the interior of the pipe. A movable latch is positioned between the two sidewalls.

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.

An erected platform which contains parallel lines of trusses connected end-to-end and method of erecting thereof, as illustrated in FIGS. 20 to 23. Each truss has two sides for chords respectively, with apertures or eyelets at the ends. First and second other trusses for a pair of parallel lines respectively are connected by positioning a first other truss adjacent the decking laid on an existing platform portion. Apertures on first respective sides of the first other truss and one of the existing trusses are connected by a first pin and the first other truss swung into an end-to-end position with the one existing truss and a second pin inserted in apertures on second respective sides of the first other truss and the one existing truss. The first pin is removed and the first other truss swung out of the way so that the second other truss may be attached. The second other truss is positioned adjacent the existing decking and similarly connected end-to-end with the other existing truss. The first other truss is then swung back into position for end-to-end attachment to the one existing truss and the second pin re-inserted.

A bridge plank applicable to construction sites includes a main board, a left wall and a right wall which are respectively disposed at two sides of the bottom of the main board. The left and right walls are integrally molded with the main board. Front and back ends of the main board are each provided with an end cap. The left and right walls are identical in structure and each includes an outer wall. Bottoms of the outer walls are bent towards the inside of the main board to form footings that are parallel to the main board. Ends of the lower bent footings are then bent upwards to form inner walls. Top edges of the inner walls are in direct contact with the bottom of the main board. Compared with the prior art, this bridge plank is strengthened in rigidity and completely eradicates potential safety hazards.

A work platform system for implementation in relation to a structure, as well as subsystems and components thereof and methods of implementation and use relating thereto, are disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the work platform system includes a first pair of flexible elements and a second pair of flexible elements, where a respective first end of each of the flexible elements is coupled at least indirectly to a first support component and a respective second end of each of the flexible elements is coupled at least indirectly to a second support component. The work platform system can further include a plurality of panel structures supported upon the flexible elements, a suspension component, and a clamp structure coupled to at least one of the first pair of flexible elements and the second pair of flexible elements. The work platform system can include one or more support extension.

A formwork system for a wall element, comprising at least one formwork panel, at least one connection component, and at least one frame section, wherein the connection component comprises at least one frame interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to a frame section, and at least one formwork interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to the formwork panel. The at least one connection component is connected here with its frame interface to the frame section, and the connection component is connected with its formwork interface to the at least one formwork panel. The connection between the connection component and the formwork panel and/or the connection between the connection component and the frame section is designed to be releasable when the system is constructed, and the frame section can be separated from the formwork panel.

A formwork system for a wall element, comprising at least one formwork panel, at least one connection component, and at least one frame section, wherein the connection component comprises at least one frame interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to a frame section, and at least one formwork interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to the formwork panel. The at least one connection component is connected here with its frame interface to the frame section, and the connection component is connected with its formwork interface to the at least one formwork panel. When the system is constructed, the frame section supports and positions the formwork panel, and the system can be used in a free-standing manner. A method for producing a wall element using such a system.

A scaffold cross-bar of metal with a round-tube carrier profile of steel includes a round tube and has an outside diameter, and a U-shaped reinforcing profile of steel sheet. The U-shaped reinforcing profile has a base profile and two parallel profile legs which extend away from the base profile in the same direction at a transverse spacing from one another. Each profile leg has at least one opening for fastening and/or securing scaffold components on the scaffold cross-bar. The transverse spacing of the profile legs is smaller than 0.6 times the outside diameter of the round-tube carrier profile.

A foldable quad-chord truss which can be connected end-to-end with like trusses. Each pair of chords are rigidly attached, and connector members intermediate the ends are swivelly attached to the chord pairs to effect the folding into a compact shape for transport and storage. The connector members are adapted for attachment to connector members of beams which may extend perpendicular to a parallel pair of the trusses and attached thereto. The laid trusses and beams is overlaid with sheets of corrugated sheet metal which overlap each other along their adjacent edges. While standing on a sheet of laid sheet metal adjacent ends of an already laid pair of trusses, another truss can be held adjacent the edge of the sheet metal for attaching an end of the other truss along only one side so that it can then be swung outwardly into a position wherein the other end of the other truss can also be attached to rigidly connect the trusses end-to-end.
