  • Patent number: 5937967
    Abstract: A mobile scaffolding apparatus having wheel support means which can be moved out of engagement with the ground. The wheel support means are mounted to a conventional scaffolding frame made of at least three, preferably four, vertical posts rigidly connected by bracing members. A foot pad is rigidly connected to the lower end of each of the vertical posts. When the wheel support means are moved into engagement with the ground, the mobile scaffolding apparatus rests upon the wheel support means and can travel. When the wheel support means are moved out of engagement with the ground, the mobile scaffolding apparatus rests stationary on the scaffolding frame foot pads. The wheel support means are moved into and out of engagement with the ground through either pivoting or retracting the wheel support means. There are two embodiments for pivoting the wheel support means. In both embodiments, the wheel support means have a wheel and axle assembly, a pivoting rod, and a brace member.
