  • Publication number: 20170159303
    Abstract: A scaffolding panel system, preferably of molded plastic, that includes floor panels, kick panels, safety doors, corner panels, and intersection panels. The panels attach to the scaffolding via snap locks molded into the panel. The snap locks may be augmented with magnets. The floor, intersection, and corner panels abut linearly with trapezoidal extensions fitting into complimentary trapezoidal indentations along complimentarily beveled end edges. The floor, intersection, and corner panels may have beams extending on the panel bottoms and may have perforated portions on the top surface. The beams may be used for routing wiring and lights, as desired.
