An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a first end section comprising a ladder section couple to a leg section by a horizontal extension coupling member, wherein the horizontal extension coupling member is in varying lengths to allow control over the width of the completed scaffold 10. Alternatively, the scaffold first end section may be coupled without the use of a horizontal extension coupling member. A completed scaffold may be accomplished by completing a first end section and a second end section and coupling the two with a cross-brass member that has been completed with the use of two loose brace members. Further completed scaffolds may be stacked upon each other. Planks or platforms may be utilized with the exemplary embodiments. Various kits are provided that provide for a full scaffold of varying widths. Kits may also contain additional materials such as planks, platforms, or additional horizontal extension coupling members to allow for a variety of widths of the finished scaffold.

A rack apparatus may have a plurality of uprights and stanchions coupled to a base, where the uprights and the stanchions may form areas configured to receive and support scaffolding and at least one working component. The base may be configured to be transported by a material handling device.

A scaffold includes first and second ladder frames. Each ladder frame includes first and second vertical supports, and first and second horizontal supports mounted to the vertical supports. The first horizontal support is formed of tubular material, and has a base or central section and an asymmetric flattened end section. The end section is mounted to the first vertical support. The central section has a top centerline and a bottom centerline. The end section has a vertically elongated cross section compared to the central section. A top of the end section aligns with the top centerline of the central section; and a bottom of the end section is disposed below the bottom centerline of the central section. Related methods and tools are also disclosed.

A scaffold rack may have a first side and a second side. An upright portion may be located between the two sides. The first side may have at least one pair of scaffold frame tubes adapted to selectively secure at least scaffold frame. The second side may have a first arm adapted to selectively support at least one walkboard thereon and a second arm adapted to selectively support at least one scaffold bracket thereon.

The present invention relates to an integrated lifting control system for controlling horizontal maintenance and loads of weights lifted vertically, the integrated lifting control system including: power units for supplying hydraulic or pneumatic pressures to hydraulic/pneumatic jacks as strand jacks for lifting the weights as unit weights to installation positions; the hydraulic/pneumatic jacks each having a CP block serving as a support stand and maintaining a strand wire in a vertical direction, a spherical or semispherical bearing installed on the CP block, and a load cell mounted on the strand wire to sense the loads of the weights; a main control panel connected to the power units and the hydraulic/pneumatic jacks; and a piperack connected to the strand wires of the hydraulic/pneumatic jacks.

The present invention relates to a formwork support comprising a stackable formwork table, at least one stackable shore and a stackable height adjustment mechanism. The stackable components are capable of saving space and improving efficiency in the assembly and disassembly of the formwork support of the present invention.

An apparatus comprising a base, a first orthogonal portion and a second orthogonal portion. The first orthogonal portion may (i) be connected to a first side of the base near a first edge of the base and (ii) have a rectangular shape. The second orthogonal portion may (i) be connected to an interior of the base and (ii) have a rectangular shape. The first orthogonal portion and the second orthogonal portion may be positioned to secure a plurality of braces. The second orthogonal portion is positioned to secure a plurality of scaffolds.

The construction industry ranks among the largest and most dangerous industries in the world. To promote worker safety, government regulations require use of fall protection equipment, such as railings, many of which are expensive, wasteful, and/or time consuming to use. Accordingly, the present inventor devised some alternatives. One exemplary system incorporates a dual post base plate configured for attachment to a concrete floor via a single concrete anchor bolt, instead of the multiple bolts used conventionally, thereby reducing assembly time and cost. Another embodiment includes a rolling cart assembly which stores the rails in a side-by-side vertical arrangement and the base plates in an interleaved sequence, promoting easy access during installation and inventory control during disassembly and storage. Additionally, some embodiments include four stacking posts that extend upward from the cart, enabling multiple carts to be stacked vertical on atop the other to save space on construction sites.
