In various aspects and embodiments a roofing guard device 200, 202 comprises a mount portion 210, optional brace portion 220, lateral supports 240, restraint flanges 214, 216, and fencing post 275 for engagement of fencing panels 300, as well as optional fall-arrest mount 230. By securely supporting fencing 300 and optional foot braces 12, the roofing guard device 200, 202 and corresponding roofing systems reduce the likelihood of workers or materials falling from roofs or other high places.

Devices for anchoring objects to structural elements such as rafter beams and other similar objects are disclosed. Such anchoring devices include coupling devices configured to grasp beams nondestructively and may include multiple coupling devices to enable supporting extended structures too large or heavy to be supported by a single anchoring point in areas where hanging or supporting objects might otherwise be difficult.

A roofing anchor configured to be removably secured to a seam of a roofing panel includes a first segment having a first flange configured to contact a first side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor, and a second segment opposing the first segment, the second segment having a second flange opposite the first flange, the second flange configured to contact a second side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor. The roofing anchor also includes a hinge mechanism configured to open the roofing anchor to separate the first flange and the second flange by a distance greater than at least a top of the seam, and to close the roofing anchor to bring the first flange and the second flange in contact with the seam. The roofing anchor further includes a securing mechanism configured to apply a compressive force on the seam.

A standing seam mounting bracket and a method of using two or three to provide attachment points along a standing seam roof is provided. The standing seam mounting brackets enable complementary use of commonly-owned equipment for enabling roof maintenance and construction. The standing seam mounting brackets may be used in concert with roof jacks, roof ladders, scaffolding members and the like that are commonly owned by most contractors so as to facilitate safe and easy horizontal and vertical movement along the sloped roof.

Implementations of a roof platform configured for use on an inclined roof are provided. In some implementations, the roof platform is adjustable so that the platform thereof can be positioned in a horizontal orientation even when mounted on a pitched (or inclined) roof. In this way, equipment (e.g., an air conditioning unit, satellite dish, solar panel(s), etc.) may be positioned on the platform and thereby the roof of a building. In some implementations, the roof platform assembly may comprise a platform that includes two leg couplings affixed to a front side thereof, four tubular legs stabilized by braces, and four pitch adjustable feet configured to be affixed to a roof. Another example implementation of the roof platform assembly may comprise a platform that includes four leg couplings, four tubular legs stabilized by pairs of adjustable braces, and four pitch adjustable feet configured to be affixed to a roof.

The shingle installation jack devices may be mounted once at a first roof level, providing support for the walk board. When installation or repair of the shingles is complete at the first level of the roof, the shingle installation jack devices may be operated in tandem to raise the level of the walk board to a second level of the roof. Shingle installation and/or repair may then be carried out at this second roof level without the need to re-mount the walk board supports at the second level. The shingle installation jack devices may also be run in reverse to lower the walk boards. The shingle installation device includes a frame and utilizes a winch motor to adjust the effective length of a cable and thus adjustably raise or lower the walk boards to any desired roof level.

An adjustable roofing scaffold system comprising a plurality of scaffold members with attached platform support structures, a hooking feature, and at least one scaffold platform configured to be attached to the plurality of scaffold members. Wheels may also be attached to each scaffold member to facilitate movement and adjustment of the system. The scaffold members may also be configured to form ladder-like structures with coupled guiderails for a user. The system may be assembled by coupling a hooking feature to the scaffold member, the scaffold member positioned upon a roof, the platform support structures attached to the scaffold member, and the platform members attached between scaffold members to complete the system. The system may be assembled, adjusted, and disassembled in various combinations, with each component capable of being removed from the rest.

A work gondola comprises a suction attachment device which is mounted on a front portion of the gondola opposing an outer wall of a building, and which couples and fixes the gondola to the outer wall of the building while being attached to the outer wall of the building by suction. The suction attachment device is formed from a first support column extending in a front-rear direction from the front portion of the gondola, a second support column mounted on the front portion of the gondola and extending in a width direction, and a vacuum gripper attached to a distal-end portion of the first support column. The work gondola which can be fixed onto the outer wall of a building to achieve positional stabilization in the air, and which enables accurate and reliable performance of work involved in various construction operations.
