A plank scaffold system and, more particularly, to a ladder-based vertically-adjustable plank scaffold system. The system may have a pair of ladders, a wall standoff mounted at the top of each of the ladders, a crane support mounted at the top of each of the ladders, a vertical guide bar and roller system to keep it from swinging on the cables, and a horizontal platform suspended on cables below the crane supports, the platform having a pair of cable winches mounted thereon for varying the elevation of the platform. Instead of ladders, tower scaffolds or stage towers may be used on each side to support the vertically-adjustable plank.

A lightweight, multi-function scaffold includes an adjustable height platform that slidably mounts between two ladder frames and a plurality of outriggers to increase stability. The outriggers attach to the ladder frames of the scaffold and extend beyond an end of the scaffold in the longitudinal direction to increase the maximum base width. Increasing the maximum base width increases stability in the longitudinal dimension and reduces the risk of tipping the scaffold end over end when a user climbs the ladder frame to access the platform.

A stabilization component is described for a lightweight scaffold having a pair of ladder frames supporting an adjustable platform. Each ladder frame has two vertical supports connected by cross members. An outrigger, which is formed as a triangular frame, is releasably connected to each vertical support via a channel that fits around the vertical support and one or more mechanical fasteners. One or more ground-engaging members are removably secured to the outrigger. When installed, the outriggers increase the footprint size of the lightweight scaffold thereby reducing shaking and swaying of the lightweight scaffold.

A utility scaffold is designed to be repeatedly broken down into straighter components to reduce the space requirement for storage and shipment. The scaffold has first and second ladder frames, each comprising a plurality of vertical supports, a plurality of horizontal supports, and a plurality of releasable connections. The horizontal supports are releasably connected to the vertical supports by the releasable connections to form a rigid ladder frame structure. The releasable connections include a male wedge protrusion and a female receiver configured to receive the male wedge protrusion. The female receiver has a passage therethrough, with the passage having a tapered interior surface. The male wedge protrusion and the tapered interior surface are configured to abut when the vertical support and the horizontal support are mounted together via the releasable connection. A fastener is optionally used to secure the releasable connection.

A lift apparatus includes a ladder assembly having a first ladder end portion and a second ladder end portion extending upwardly from a base framework, each end portion having a pair of upstanding support legs and a plurality of rungs. The lift apparatus includes a platform that is slidably coupled to respective support legs of respective ladder end portions, the platform having a floor surface capable of supporting a person. The lift apparatus include a motorized pulley system operable for raising and lowering the platform relative to the ladder end portions via a controller accessible to the worker while standing on the platform.

A stabilizer, especially for a typical interior style baker scaffold, painters scaffold, and the like; used in homes and or buildings largely by various trades reduces the undesired movement of the scaffold. The stabilizer includes a first C-shaped coupler to secure a support bar at a first bar end and a second C-shaped coupler to support a second bar end to the scaffold. This stabilizer will adapt to the typical scaffold frame, and works to eliminate the wobble, wiggle, shake and sway from the scaffold when it is erected as a single piece or as multiple pieces stacked on top of themselves for additional height.

A work scaffold having a platform and leg assemblies rotatably attached to each end of the platform. The platform may have a handle connected to free end that extends out the sides of the platform, which engage with links attached to the leg assemblies and the platform to lock the scaffold in an open or closed position. The platform may have hooks that extend out beyond the ends of the platform from under the platform so a second work scaffold can be situated on the hooks. The platform may be formed of boards with holes that receive cross members. A method for using a work scaffold. A method for forming a work scaffold.

An unlocking structure of workbench ladder includes a platform and two ladders hinged to the two ends of the platform; wherein, the ladder includes an unlocking structure relative to the hinged joint of the platform, and the unlocking structure includes an operating button, rotating lock tongue and a first elastic element; the rotating lock tongue is arranged in the column and the upper end is a locking hook which is locked and located in the locking plate at the bottom of the platform; the first elastic element acts between the rotating lock tongue and the column driving and positioning the locking hook toward the locking plate to lock the ladder and the platform; the operating button acts on the rotating lock tongue to overcome the first elastic element and drive the locking hook to move in a direction opposite to the locking plate, unlocking the ladder and the platform.

The invention relates to a coupling pin clip (10) fora coupling piece (16) for the connection of two components that are inserted between them. To affix the insertable coupling at the ends of the coupling piece (16), a pin is insertable both through a hole of the component and through a hole of the coupling piece. The coupling pin clip (10) is U-shaped, the legs of which have a distance from each other that corresponds to the distance of the two holes in the coupling piece (16). Furthermore, the coupling pin clip (10) comprises a tipping finger (14) articulated at one end of the coupling pin clip (10).
