A climbing system for multi-level building construction includes (a) a plurality of vertical guides mountable to a building structure under construction; (b) a climbing unit coupled to the vertical guides for guided vertical translation of the climbing unit along an exterior of the building structure and; (c) one or more horizontal guides mounted to the climbing unit; and (d) an extendible platform supported by the horizontal guides for guided translation of the extendible platform along a horizontal axis extending generally perpendicular to the building structure. The extendible platform is translatable along the horizontal axis between a retracted position, in which the extendible platform is generally retracted into the climbing unit and clear of the building structure to permit interference-free vertical translation of the climbing unit, and an advanced position, in which the extendible platform projects horizontally from the climbing unit to the building structure for covering a gap therebetween.

The invention concerns a scaffolding decking (10) for scaffolding in the building sector, with a support frame (16) comprising two longitudinal profiles (18) and one or more transverse profiles (20), via which the longitudinal profiles (18) are connected to one another. The scaffolding decking has a decking plate (12) which is fastened to the longitudinal profiles (18), each cross profile (20) being hooked into the two longitudinal profiles (18) and only being hooked through the decking plate (12) into its longitudinal profiles (18) is held or secured in the hooked position. Each transverse profile (20) has two wall legs (42) which are connected to one another via a back section (44) and wherein the two wall legs (42) have angled free edge portions (46) on which the covering plate (12) rests. Also, the invention concerns a process for the manufacture of the scaffolding above decking (10).
