A support system for for supporting a work surface, such as a floating roof during maintenance of the associated tank. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to providing a system composed on elements which can be transported without constrictive spaces, assembled within work area, and employed to provide support to a structure above and to provide a safe working environment therein. . The support system includes four support members, each having a jack, a lower, and a cap, eight connectors which fix the support members in relation to one another and provide rigidity, and may include two connecting shafts to permit simultaneous adjustment of two jacks on a side of the support system.

A low-profile adjustable height operator platform includes a low-profile frame, which includes a plurality of struts, and one or more kick plates. The one or more kick plates flank the perimeter of the low-profile frame, acting to structurally support the low-profile so that the platform can achieve a low profile without sacrificing its holding capacity. The low profile of the platform (e.g., being as low as two inches from the ground surface) enables the platform to accommodate and support operators of a variety of heights.

A system and method used to translate a building structure (e.g., a single-family home) from a first position (e.g., above grade) to a second position (e.g., below grade) is provided. The system may thereby protect building structures from above grade threats such as wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, and other threats by lowering the building structure into a below grade cavity and sealing it therein. The system may include a base that supports the building structure and a translation system that lowers the base and the building structure below grade. The translation system may include scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts, jackscrew lifts and/or other types of lifts. The system also may include a quick release utilities system to disconnect the various utilities during the translation and a protective roof that may be extended over the top of the building structure to protect it from the threats above.

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.

An adjustable scaffolding tunnel assembly. The assembly includes a first pair of posts connected on upper and lower portions thereof to a second pair of posts via grooved members. A first cross beam is positioned between the first pair of posts, and a second cross beam is positioned between the second pair of posts. A plurality of support beams is disposed between the first and second cross beams. The first and second pairs of posts are vertically adjustable, and the first and second cross beams and the support beams are laterally adjustable. In this manner, a height and a width of the assembly are individually adjustable. The adjustable scaffolding tunnel assembly can hold one or more isolation members, such as wood or drywall, to isolate an interior of the assembly from an exterior of the assembly.

The platform includes a base support that can be clamped to a boat railing and extendable support arms that support a work platform. Methods of manufacturing the platform are also disclosed.

A portable aircraft maintenance stand includes a frame assembly and a deck. The frame assembly has a base portion and an upper portion. The deck is mounted to the upper portion of the frame assembly and includes a cantilevered portion. The deck also has a gap configured to receive an engine of an aircraft such that the deck at least partially wraps around the engine. The cantilevered portion of the deck is configured to be positioned vertically above a wing of the aircraft while the base portion of the frame assembly is positioned vertically below the wing.
