A platform system is configured to allow an individual to be supported at a plurality of different heights, and includes a frame defining a plurality of platform adjustment levels, and an upper support platform that is configured to be selectively moved between the plurality of platform adjustment levels to provide the plurality of different heights.

A set of parts for providing a hoist (1, 101, 102) for a scaffold, the set of parts comprising a platform (2) adapted for carrying at least one object and comprising at least two gear elements (63, 64), the at least two gear elements being arranged at each of two opposing sides (25, 26) of the platform, two frames (31, 32) adapted for being arranged at each of the two opposing sides of the platform, the two frames each comprising one rack element (310, 320) arranged extending in a longitudinal direction (L) of the frame, and one motor (4) for moving the platform along a longitudinal direction of the two frames and for controlling the movement of the platform synchronously with respect to each of the two frames.

A hinge apparatus that includes a stationary hinge portion, which includes a first bracket configured to be attached to a fixed surface, a first arm extending from the first bracket, and a second arm extending from the first bracket. The first and second brackets include axial holes with a hinge pin arranged therethrough. The hinge pin defines a rotation axis. The stationary hinge portion also includes a stop plate extending away from the first bracket and connected to the first arm. The hinge apparatus also includes a rotatable hinge portion, which includes a body arranged around the hinge pin between the first and second arms and a stop body extending from the body along the rotation axis. Ends of the stop body contact the stop plate to limit rotation of the body about the rotation axis. A second bracket configured to be attached to a movable body.

An apparatus that provides a platform for selectively deployable worker access with fall protection to at least a portion of the top of a container disposed above the ground. The apparatus includes a gate and a ladder extension that selectively operates in an extended mode and a retracted mode with respect to the gate and with respect to an emergency egress ladder extending beneath the platform.

A guard rail system for a scaffold can be configured in multiple configurations. In one configuration, two gates are pivotally mounted to opposing ends of a first side rail assembly, and are latched to a second side rail assembly. In another configuration, the gates are also pivotally mounted to opposing ends of a first side rail assembly, but the second side rail assembly is removed, and the gates are latched to support posts that replace the second side rail assembly. Removal of the second side rail assembly allows better access to a nearby worksite. Related methods are also disclosed.

A scaffolding lift assembly includes a scaffolding and a lift boom that is removably attachable to a respective one of a pair of end frameworks of the scaffolding which is pivotable in a deployed position having the lift boom extending laterally away from the respective end framework. A winch is attached to the lift boom to lift a load of building materials onto the scaffolding. A safety gate is removably attachable to a respective end framework which is biased into a closed position to inhibit a user from inadvertently passing between the pair of end frameworks and falling from the scaffolding. A side gate is removably attachable to the scaffolding and the side gate is slidable into a closed position extending between each of a pair of end sections of the scaffolding to inhibit the user from passing between the pair of end sections and inadvertently falling from the scaffolding.

A scaffolding assembly is provided. The scaffolding assembly comprises a base assembly and a support assembly. The base assembly and support assembly are associated with a first common end support. The support assembly includes a second end support and a user supporting deck extending between the first common end support and the second end support, and the base assembly includes a third end support and a second deck extending between the first common end support and the third end support. The decks may comprise movably interconnected floor members. The support assembly may be disassembled and located in a storage area defined by the base assembly for ease of transport.

A modular ladder system is provided. The modular ladder system includes a vertical ladder assembly including a vertical support with a ladder bridge mount that is configured to dock with a first section of the platform and an angled ladder. The vertical support may also include one or more adaptable parts that is configured to provide a fall prevention barrier according to a shape of the process module. The adaptable part may be a foldable hinged step cover that couples with a second section of the platform or one or more guard rails that rest below the ladder bridge mount in a stowed position and is coupled with the ladder bridge mount. Further, the vertical support and the angled ladder may be detachable. The angled ladder may include an extension plate that provides a bridge between ladder bridge mount and a swing gate of the ladder system.
