Abstract: A universal apparatus for attachment to each corner of a scaffold vertical member and having toe board holding flanges attached thereto for receiving the ends of toe boards therein. The bracket is of a type which can be opened by a hinge and disposed around a vertical scaffold member and then locked in place whereby it has universal application to almost any standard scaffold structure. The toe boards themselves are typically constructed of lumber which would be on the construction site anyway, such as 2".times.6" members which can be cut to a desired length.

Abstract: A portable scaffold has a frame with a pair of spaced apart, longitudinal members which are essentially parallel to the direction of forward travel of the frame. The frame has a plurality of wheel assemblies attached to each corner thereof with pneumatic tires thereon so that the frame can travel over public roads or the like. A scaffold structure is attached to the longitudinal members by an attachment structure which will telescope between a narrow length which is within legal limits for highway travel. Similarly, transverse members connecting the longitudinal frame members together are provided which also can be telescoped between a narrow distance for legal travel down a public highway and a wider distance which provides the necessary base of a platform for the scaffold so that the scaffold can extend higher than would otherwise be permissible if the portable platform could not be widened.
