A framework platform element, in particular for scaffolding, includes a framework platform body made from sheet metal material and extending in a longitudinal direction, with a stepping surface region providing a stepping surface on a top side and with side panel regions connecting to the stepping surface region in transition regions, formed by shaping the sheet metal material in two edge regions of the stepping surface region and situated at a distance from one another in a transverse direction. At least one side panel region has an end profile region, formed by shaping the sheet metal material, in an end region spaced apart from the transition region in a vertical direction, wherein in at least one transition region and/or in at least one end profile region, at least one curved shaped region is provided. A radius of curvature is less than or equal to a material thickness of the sheet metal material in at least sections in at least one curved shaped region.

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 platform and a kit therefor. The platform and the kit comprises quad-chord trusses attachable end-to-end and having connector members intermediate thereof, and further comprising beams attachable at their ends to the connector members so that a beam attaches two parallel trusses. A truss comprises first and second pairs of chords which are foldable for storage and transport and unfoldable to use for erection of the platform. A track lies between the upper chords to allow movement of bolts along the track into position to attach for insertion into decking apertures for attachment of the decking. The kit also includes a sturdy and reliable and easy to use tie-up mechanism and railing along the platform perimeter which is quickly and easily attachable and reliable.

A foldable scaffold platform has a first scaffold platform body and a second scaffold platform body which are interconnected by an articulation, where the scaffold platform can be folded up for the assembly, disassembly, and transportation thereof, where the width of the scaffold platform is reduced, preferably halved, in the folded state. Each scaffold platform body at the end sides when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the scaffold platform has in each case connection means, in the form of hooks, for connecting the scaffold platform to cross bars of a scaffold. Furthermore, the scaffold platform at the end sides thereof when viewed in the longitudinal direction has in each case an anti-lift protection. The anti-lift protections are disposed so as to be mutually diagonal such that in the folded state of the scaffold platform only a first anti-lift protection locks the scaffold platform to a first cross bar.

A scaffold transom, particularly for the horizontally oriented installation in a scaffold section, the scaffold transom comprising at least one transom support which is rod-shaped and extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis, the transom support having two opposing ends in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and a connection interface being located at each of these two ends, which connection interface is provided for the connection to a scaffold element, at least two brackets which each extend along a bracket axis, the brackets each having two opposing ends in the direction of their bracket axis, one of said ends of each bracket being connected to the transom support, and at least two closures respectively one of which is located at the end of a bracket opposite of the connection of said bracket to the transom support.

A platform erected by adding an other platform portion to an existing platform portion, as illustrated in FIGS. 20 to 23, by holding a first other truss adjacent decking of the existing portion, connecting ends of sides of the first other truss and a first existing truss with a first pin, swinging the first other truss about the first pin, and connecting ends of other sides of the first other truss and first existing truss with a second pin. In order to similarly connect a second other truss to a second existing truss, the first pin is removed and the first other truss is swung out of the way. After the second other truss is connected to the second existing truss, the first other truss is swung back into position and the first pin re-inserted. Decking is applied to the first and second other trusses.

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.

A scaffold toeboard system for locking a toeboard between two vertical scaffold members where each vertical scaffold member includes a tubular member having a diameter and an outer shape. The toeboard system includes a toeboard having an elongated member with a fixed terminating end and an adjustable terminating end. The toeboard further includes a front portion, a top edge, a bottom edge and a rear portion. The toeboard system further includes a locking mechanism slidably mounted to the adjustable terminating end, where the locking mechanism includes a lock member body with a front edge and two fingers positioned on said locking mechanism and extending outwardly from the front edge of the locking member. The two fingers separated by a horizontal distance of about the diameter of a scaffold vertical member. The locking mechanism further includes a lock, where the lock is actuatable to fix the position of the lock member body with respect to the toeboard. The fixed terminating end is shaped to engage a scaffold vertical member.

A beam for scaffold platforms for forming a scaffold platform plane, comprising at least two profiles which are guided longitudinally displaceably in one another and have recesses which, in the overlapping region, form openings for the reception of scaffold platforms, wherein the shape and/or the size of the openings is variable by longitudinal displacement of the profiles relative to one another.

A scaffold platform plane, a method for building a scaffold platform plane and the use of a beam.

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.
