Abstract: A boom clamp attachment has a gib frame, a boom quick-connect, a shaft arm axle, a shaft arm torque assembly, and at least one gib clamp assembly. The gib clamp assembly has a clamp support member having a first gib clamp at a first end and second gib clamp at a second end. The gib clamp has a fixed finger and a moveable finger, the moveable finger controlled via hydraulics. The boom clamp may hoist, tilt, and position an assembled section of panels.

Abstract: A construction roofing safety anchoring assembly and method that permits a roofing construction worker to harness himself or herself to a stable, yet movable, rooftop anchor. The anchoring assembly features a mobile safety anchor having a safety harness coupled to a retractable cable and counterweighted anchoring assembly, wherein the assembly automatically and instantly acts to impede and stop any accidents or falls experienced by the rooftop worker. The safety anchoring assembly and method thus allows the worker to engage in unrestricted rooftop work efforts while the worker is also afforded substantially less risk of fall or injury.

Abstract: A method of using conveyor belts for hydroponic growing includes distributing seeds onto at least one conveyor belt, watering the seeds on the conveyor belt, providing lighting to the conveyor belt to facilitate photosynthesis of the seeds thereon, advancing the conveyor belt in intervals as the seeds sprout and grow, and harvesting the sprouts at the end of the conveyor belt.

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.
