A support apparatus 1 for supporting a user in an elevated working position above a ground surface G comprises a frame 60 for supporting a floor portion 20 of the support apparatus and a plurality of leg members 40a, 40b mounted to the frame 60 for supporting the frame above the ground surface G. Each leg member has a foot portion 42 for engaging the ground surface G. Each leg member is rotatably mounted to the frame for rotation about a rotational axis which is substantially perpendicular to the width and the length of the frame and each leg member extends from the frame in a radial direction of the rotational axis, whereby the foot portion is offset from the rotational axis.

A movable scaffolding base for transporting an assembled scaffold along a ground surface comprising a frame, having a front, and a rear, and defining a horizontal plane when the assembled scaffold is attached thereto a drive motor, a steering actuator, a pair of rear wheels attached at the rear and driven by the drive motor to drive the frame, a pair of front wheels attached at the front which are rotated to effect steering by action of the steering actuator, a control system for controlling the drive motor and the steering actuator, a set of scaffold support posts attached to the frame that removably attach to vertical members of the assembled scaffold, and one or more outriggers, extending outwards from a first side of the frame to prevent rotation of the horizontal plane towards the side.

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 ladder hoop having a hoop shaped member with an inner facing surface, an outer facing surface, a top and a bottom. The hoop has two terminating ends forming an opening there between, and each terminating end is adapted to attach to a scaffold ladder. The hoop includes tabs supporting a member movable on the tabs between an open position and a closed position.

A scaffold system comprising a set of components adapted for assembly of a scaffold section. The components are at least two frame components, each having at least two vertical members separated by at least two interconnecting members, the at least two vertical members comprising a socket; two or more brace components adapted to span between and connect to the two side frame components; at least four corner pole components, each adapted to connect with the socket of a vertical member; and a plurality of support rail components adapted to span between two pole components.
