Assembly for erecting and dismantling a common tower adjacent a building structure and a method of erecting and dismantling the same
11680418 · 2023-06-20 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a common tower configured to be erected adjacent a building structure into construction. The tower comprises spaced apart columns, made of vertically aligned column hollow sections, spacedly and substantially vertically positioned adjacent the building structure, and vertically spaced apart flooring structures releasably and slidably supported by the spaced apart columns using a plurality of sliders. Each flooring structure is being capable of vertical displacement when supported by the spaced apart columns. The tower further comprises an anchoring system adapted to securely engage with the building structure to maintain the spaced apart columns substantially upright, as well as protection structures adapted to surround the flooring structures. A safe and easy erection of the tower using a common tower assembly is described.

An arrangement for overcoming heights or vertical distances, such as, in particular, high-voltage towers, towers for wind installations, buildings, high-bay warehouses, etc., has a longitudinally extended, rail-like profile (7) or guide member, and at least one portable lift element which is releasably fastenable to the profile, consisting of a driving part (3) which is movable up and down along the profile or guide member and a platform (5) for receiving at least one person or loads.

SCAFFOLDING ARRANGEMENT
20170260758 · 2017-09-14 ·

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scaffolding arrangement to be attached to a deck structure, comprising a set of aims (2) including a carrier beam (5) for carrying the working levels and support structures needed in work, an attachment frame (1) for attaching the set of arms to the upper surface of the deck structure and platforms (103, 104, 105) for forming working levels.

CANTILEVER PLATFORM BOARD ASSEMBLY
20220018142 · 2022-01-20 ·

The disclosure relates to a platform board assembly defining a front, a rear, and two sides and having: a plank having a free end towards the front and a fixed end towards the rear; a T-plate having a bottom extension and a top extension, wherein the bottom extension of the T-plate is connected to the fixed end of the plank; a vertical support member wherein the vertical support member is connected to the top extension of the T-plate; at least one ratchet stop mounted on a first side of the platform board assembly, wherein the ratchet stop is includes: a spool; a ratchet wheel rotatable about the spool; and a pawl configured to engage and disengage with the ratchet wheel; and a flexible connector engaged with the spool.

Apparatus for movement along a tower structure
11788512 · 2023-10-17 · ·

A plurality of sliding rails and a frame structure comprising a plurality of frame elements configured to be arranged at least partly circumferentially around a tower structure. Each frame element is slidably connected to at least one of the sliding rails, and the frame elements and the sliding rails are interconnected to form a scissor structure. An upwardly directed lifting force applied by a hoisting mechanism at connecting points at or near positions where the frame elements are connected to the sliding rails, in combination with gravity working on the frame structure, causes the frame elements to slide along the sliding rails, thereby causing the scissor structure to contract or expand to adjust a diameter of the frame structure to an outer diameter of the tower structure having the apparatus mounted thereon.
