Abstract: A concrete panel assembly system features a panel casting apparatus, a panel trailer, and a divider trailer. The panel casting apparatus includes two outer forms that surround a plurality of dividers and concrete receiving inserts. The concrete receiving inserts are custom assembled at an offsite factory and transported to the jobsite without concrete. A conveyor then moves a concrete hopper from one side of the panel casting apparatus to the other while selectively pouring concrete vertically into each concrete receiving insert via a plurality of dispenser valves. Chains and threaded compression rods are fastened across the panel casting apparatus to properly shape and set up the concrete. A surrounding platform with towers couplable to a fall restraint system enables users to safely supervise the casting process. Upon curing, the concrete wall panels are removed by crane and transported to a nearby building for final installation.

Abstract: An apparatus for aligning corrugated decking includes a main body, an alignment frame, and one or more arms configured by linear actuation to raise and lower the alignment frame. The apparatus features one or more vertically-adjustable corrugation plates and a sliding corrugation plate positioned across the alignment frame, each including a plurality of teeth that are grooved to complement the profile of corrugated panels. The sliding corrugation plate is moveable along sliding rails via a linear actuator in a header of the alignment frame. In practice, the vertically-adjustable corrugation plates grip the flutes of an unsecured panel while the sliding corrugation plate grips the flutes of an adjacent unsecured panel and aligns them together with one another in preparation for fastening.

Abstract: A boom clamp attachment has a gib frame, a boom quick-connect, a shaft arm axle, a shaft arm torque assembly, and at least one gib clamp assembly. The gib clamp assembly has a clamp support member having a first gib clamp at a first end and second gib clamp at a second end. The gib clamp has a fixed finger and a moveable finger, the moveable finger controlled via hydraulics. The boom clamp may hoist, tilt, and position an assembled section of panels.

Abstract: An insulated metal panel (IMP) assembly system includes a panel assembly table and a boom IMP attachment. The panel assembly table allows for assembly of a panel module at ground level. The boom IMP attachment features a quick-coupler couplable to the boom of a telehandler, a swivel coupler column, one or more tilt linear actuators configured to tilt the orientation of a panel module, and one or more hydraulic rotation linear actuators configured to rotate the orientation of the panel module. The boom IMP attachment also includes a jib frame, a plurality of jib arms spanning outwards from the jib frame, and one or more clamp header rails having a plurality of clamp assemblies, each configured to grip a frame member of the panel frame of the panel module. The boom IMP attachment may hoist, tilt, and rotate the panel module.

Abstract: A system for assembling roofing at ground level has an adjustable-length center frame separating a first assembly side from a second assembly side; a first cantilevered gantry on the first assembly side and a second cantilevered gantry on a second side, each cantilevered gantry moveable along the length of the center frame; a plurality of outrigger beams coupled to opposing ends of the center beam, each outrigger beam having a catwalk thereon; a first joist railing and a second joist railing on each assembly side, each joist railing configured to receive an end of an open web joist; and a base frame comprising a plurality of wheels. Once the roofing section has been assembled, hoisting the assembled roofing section to the top of a structure.

Abstract: The beam rotation device described herein has a base support with a first vertical jaw arm, a second vertical jaw arm, and a support arm. The second vertical jaw arm may be pivotally coupled to the device so as to go from a first, closed position to a second, opened position to receive a steel beam (e.g., I-beam). Once the steel beam is placed within the device, the support arm may hold the beam stationary to allow a worker to weld or perform other tasks. It will be appreciated that multiple beam rotation devices may be coupled together and work in tandem to receive and rotate a beam. The beam rotation device creates a safer working environment than the rotators found in the art by having a pivotable second vertical jaw arm that may open to receive a beam and a support arm to hold the beam during fabrication.

Abstract: A vehicle apparatus has a chassis with a plurality of rear wheels (e.g., flotation axel wheels) and a plurality of front wheels (e.g., drive/steer wheels) coupled thereto. A scissor lift assembly may couple to the chassis and hoist and lower a man basket. The man basket has hinged sides that may be released to a horizontal position, thereby extending the working platform of a user. A rotatable pedestal allows a central tie-off spot for added safety and efficacy.
