Modular systems of platforms for use on a ground surface are provided along with methods for the use thereof. The system may comprise: a bottom platform; a booster platform; a railing; and/or a lifter. The system increases the modularity, customizability, portability, and safety of: providing a platform for standing above a ground surface; altering the height above a ground surface of a platform by providing a modular or stackable system of platforms; moving a platform from one place to another along a ground surface; supporting a toolbox above a ground surface; and providing a railing to help prevent a user from falling off of a platform.

A scaffold upon which a person stands includes a platform with a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform. The scaffold includes a latch assembly having a latch pivot axis coupled to the platform. The scaffold includes a stud attached to a first leg of the first leg assembly to which the latch assembly engages when the first leg assembly is moved into the extended position to automatically lock the first leg assembly in the extended position where the latch assembly is in a set position. When the latch assembly is moved out of the set position, the stud on the first leg disengages from the latch assembly and the first leg assembly is able to rotate about the first leg assembly pivot axis to a folded position. A method for using a scaffold.

An assembly upon which a user stands includes a platform. The assembly includes a first work stand and a second work stand. Each work stand has a front frame and a rear frame. The assembly includes a first plank adapter engaged with the first work stand. The first plank adapter has an attachment portion and a bar. The assembly includes a second plank adapter engaged with the second work stand. The platform rests on is supported by the first and second plank adapters. The present invention pertains to a work stand for holding a platform upon which a user stands. A plank adapter that is engaged with a front frame of a work stand to hold a platform. A method for a user to stand above ground. A method for forming a work stand.

An apparatus includes a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle. The apparatus includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end. The apparatus includes a second leg assembly attentively attached to the platform in proximity to the second end. When the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies. When the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus. A method for a user with hands to stand on an apparatus.

A scaffolding accessory for a scaffolding frame with a scaffolding frame opening comprising an accessory frame, a first pair of first legs, and a second pair of second legs. The accessory frame has a rectangular shape and dimensioned to be releasably secured inside the scaffolding frame opening. Each of the first pair of first legs is connected to the accessory frame, each first leg comprising a first U-shaped member dimensioned to receive the first scaffolding rod. The first U-shaped member defines bores dimensioned to receive a leg fastener to releasably secure the accessory frame to the first scaffolding rod. Each of the second pair of second legs is connected to the accessory frame, each second leg comprises a second U-shaped member dimensioned to abut an inside portion of the second scaffolding rod and to releasably secure the accessory frame to the second scaffolding rod.

A lightweight, multi-function scaffold includes an adjustable height platform that slidably mounts between two ladder frames. The side rails of the platform are reversible so that they can be mounted between the ladder frames in either a first orientation or in a second orientation. In the first orientation, the adjustable height platform is vertically movable between a first threshold and a maximum height. In the second orientation, the adjustable height platform is vertically movable between a second threshold and a minimum height. The ranges of movement in the first and second orientations may overlap.
