A suspended scaffolding connector comprising:
- a central spine;
- an anchor connector at a top end of the spine;
- a lower set of truss connectors attached to the spine at a first location spaced apart from the top end of the spine, the lower set of truss connectors comprising first and second co-axial lower truss connectors, the first lower truss connector comprising a first straight elongated member rigidly projecting perpendicular to the spine in a first direction and the second lower truss connector comprising a second straight elongated member rigidly projecting perpendicular to the spine in a second direction, the second direction opposite the first direction;
- and
- an upper set of truss connectors attached to the spine at a second location between the lower set of truss connectors and the top end of the spine, the upper set of truss connectors comprising first and second co-axial upper truss connectors, the first upper truss connector comprising a third straight elongated member rigidly projecting perpendicular to the spine in the first direction and the second upper truss connector comprising a fourth straight elongated member rigidly projecting perpendicular to the spine in the second direction, the upper truss connectors projecting co-planar with and parallel to the lower truss connectors,
- wherein, the upper and lower first truss connectors are spaced apart to respectively releasably engage upper and lower members of a first scaffolding truss extending rigidly in the first direction and the upper and lower second truss connectors are spaced apart to respectively releasably engage upper and lower members of a second scaffolding truss extending rigidly in the second direction such that, when suspended from an overhead suspension point by the anchor connector, and when the upper and lower first truss connectors are engaged with the first scaffolding truss and the upper and lower second truss connectors are engaged with the second scaffolding truss the suspended scaffolding connector supports a portion of a suspended scaffolding structure comprising the first and second scaffolding trusses;
- wherein the upper and lower sets of truss connectors are respectively supported by upper and lower sets of lugs:
- the lower set of lugs attached to the spine, the lower set of lugs comprising first and second co-axial tubular lower lugs projecting perpendicular to the spine in the opposing first and second directions and wherein the first and second lower truss connectors are received in the first and second tubular lower lugs respectively;
- and the upper set of lugs attached to the spine, the upper set of lugs comprising first and second co-axial tubular upper lugs projecting perpendicular to the spine in the opposing first and second directions and wherein the first and second upper truss connectors are received in the first and second tubular lugs respectively.
