The upper unit may have a retainer portion and two legs extending from the portion. The lower unit may have a retainer portion and two legs extending from the portion. The upper portion may at least partially overlap the lower portion.

Abstract: A floor structure system may have a hub with a plate with an upper surface. A beam connector may be connected to the upper surface. At least one pin may extend from the upper surface. The pin may be adapted to connect with a rod or a cable extending generally transverse the pin direction. The rod or cable may have an aperture adapted to receive the at least one pin. The system may also have a beam attached to the beam connector.

Abstract: A system for connecting trailer towing components may have a pin having a first leg and a second leg. The system may also have a torsion bar having a first set of splines, and a main beam for a trailer. The main beam may have an insert adapted to selectively receive the torsion bar therein. The main beam may also have at least one guide aperture adapted to selectively receive one of the pin legs. The system may also have a secondary beam adapted to be selectively located at least partially within the main beam. The secondary beam may have apertures adapted to receive at least one of the legs of the pin and the torsion bar.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A scaffold apparatus may have a saddle with a platform and two spaced apart parallel sides extending above the platform. The apparatus may also have a beam having a beam flange attached to an end portion of the beam. The apparatus may also have an upright connector with a bottom portion, where bottom portion may have an insert, and a plate attached to the bottom portion.

Abstract: A trailer having retractable wheels. A lock-out mechanism is provided that prevents the trailer from being connected to a vehicle when the wheels are in the retracted position. The lock-out mechanism may also be configured to prevent movement of the wheels to the retracted position when the trailer is connected to a vehicle.

Abstract: A replaceable locking and securing device for securing a first member to a second member includes a replaceable bracket, a lock and a fastener. The bracket defines one opening when the bracket is operatively connected to the first member.

The lock-out mechanism may also be configured to prevent movement of the wheels to the retracted position when the trailer is connected to a vehicle.

Abstract: Scaffold having a locking and securing device for securing a first support to a second support is disclosed where the locking and securing device is movable between a secured position and an unsecured position by using a force at a substantially center point of the securing means.

Abstract: A locking and securing device including a securing means which is movable between a secured position and an unsecured position by using a force at a substantially center point of the securing means.

Abstract: A self locking basket assembly has a basket extending from a base platform, and a gate system for releaseably securing a worker within the cage. The gate system includes a gate operatively mounted on a pivotable locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is opened by moving the gate in a rearward direction at an angle to a plane defined by the base platform and thereafter pivoting the gate about a hinge mechanism to an open position.

Abstract: A stabilizing system includes at least one outrigger assembly. Each outrigger assembly has a pivotable first leg operably connected to a second leg. At least one locking mechanism is operatively mounted to the pivotable first leg and the second leg. At least one sensing mechanism is connected to the first leg for detecting when the first and second legs are in a stabilized position.

Abstract: A trailer for use in transporting a load from one area to another area has a frame and a bed operatively mounted to the frame which is capable of being moved from a first or lowered position to a second or elevated position in a substantially vertical manner or nontilting manner. At least one lifting mechanism is operatively connected to the bed, which applies the greatest force for lifting the bed from the lowered position to the elevated position at the beginning of the lift, rather than at an end or midpoint of the lift. At least one over-center latching mechanism secures the bed to the frame when the bed is in the elevated position.

Abstract: A scaffolding system having a first frame connected to a second frame with at least one platform disposed therebetween. The first frame includes a first set of posts connected together by an upper cross member. The second frame includes a second set of posts connected together by a lower cross member. The platform is adapted to be detachably secured to the upper cross member and sandwiched between the upper cross member and the lower cross member such that an upper surface of the lower cross member is generally flush with the platform, thus forming a continuous walking surface. The lower cross member prevents removal of the platform while the second frame is connected to the first frame.

Abstract: A safety base is provided for a scaffold. The scaffold has casters so that it can be moved periodically at the job site. The safety base has two components, each consisting of an elongate bar with adjustable safety legs near the ends, along with detachable locks for readily attaching the component to frame members of the scaffolding. Feet of the legs are positioned near the supporting surface so that if the casters encounter a depression as the scaffold is being moved, the feet will engage the surface and the scaffold will not tilt excessively.
