  • Publication number: 20220008792
    Abstract: Stilts such as for use by a worker at a work site. Each stilt comprises a leg support, a shoe platform, a floor platform, a riser disposed between the shoe platform and the floor platform, and side supports, wherein each side support is connected to the leg support, the shoe platform, and the riser, wherein the stilt provides rigidity to the shoe platform without having to employ springs. Preferably, the riser is easily removable such that a different size riser can be used if a different level of elevation is desired, i.e., given the user's height and the height of the work to be performed. As such, the stilts are easily adjustable with regard to height. Additionally, preferably at least one or more other components of the stilts, such as the floor platform, is easily replaceable as well.
