  • Patent number: 7878338
    Abstract: An OSHA compliant container for scaffold frames and cross braces includes a floor bordered by recessed channels into which legs of scaffold frames may be placed. A central upright frame includes rest surfaces against which the upper ends of the first scaffold frame placed into the container may rest. A stop element in each channel prevents the lower ends of the scaffold legs from being placed against the upright frame. Upright posts at the corners of the base of the container support side rails which provide fall protection for a worker inside the container. Lanyard rings attached to the upright posts provide connection points for safety harness and for a gate to provide additional fall protection for a worker within the container. Underlying fork tubes extending longitudinally as well as transversely allow the container to be lifted by a fork lift from either end and either side.
