Abstract: A swivel anchor includes a handle, a central rod, a nut, a swivel ring having an anchor ring and a base member, and an adjustable anchor bar configured to toggle between a vertical configuration and horizontal configuration. The swivel ring is configured to freely rotate 360 degrees around the central rod. A harness or self-retracting lifeline may be couplable to the anchor ring, providing an anchor point used by workers for fall protection. The anchor bar features a tubular body having an indented top surface with machined grooves that provide additional means of friction against a deck.

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: A roof vehicle has a chassis, a plurality of motor-driven wheels coupled to the chassis, a man-basket coupled to the chassis, wherein the man-basket is moveable on a y-axis and is configured to lower to an elevation beneath that of the plurality of motor-driven wheels, a deck for transporting equipment, and a power supply. A method for assembling and installing a roof involves moving the roof vehicle to the desired location on the roof of a structure, lowering the man-basket at least partially beneath the surface roof, and performing work (e.g., welding) to secure the roof to the structure of the building.
