Abstract
Mounting plates for elevating platforms, including a mounting apparatus with interior and exterior reinforcement components elongated vertically. The interior reinforcement piece includes an embedded bolt that extends from the interior reinforcement piece, through a wall of the platform, and through the exterior reinforcement component. The interior and exterior reinforcement components have a stepped construction to convert peel stress to shear stress.
Claims20
A mounting component for a utility platform, the mounting component comprising:
- an internal portion comprising at least one surface configured to matingly interface with an internal surface of the utility platform;
- and
- a rib portion oriented perpendicular to the internal portion and integral with the internal portion, the rib portion configured to extend through a slot disposed in a sidewall of the utility platform,
- wherein the rib portion comprises one or more holes disposed therethrough, the one or more holes configured to receive at least one mounting fastener.
A platform assembly comprising:
- a utility platform comprising a sidewall having an internal surface and one or more slots disposed therethrough;
- and
- at least one mounting component configured to support the utility platform, the at least one mounting component comprising:
- an internal portion comprising at least one surface configured to matingly interface with the internal surface of the utility platform;
- and
- a rib portion oriented perpendicular to the internal portion and integral with the internal portion, the rib portion configured to extend through the one or more slots disposed in the sidewall of the utility platform.
A mounting assembly for supporting a utility platform, the mounting assembly comprising:
- a first mounting component, the first mounting component comprising:
- a first internal portion comprising at least one first surface configured to matingly interface with an internal surface of the utility platform;
- and
- a first rib portion integral with the first internal portion, the first rib portion configured to extend through a first slot disposed in a sidewall of the utility platform;
- a second mounting component, the second mounting component comprising:
- a second internal portion comprising at least one second surface configured to matingly interface with the internal surface of the utility platform;
- and
- a second rib portion integral with the second internal portion, the second rib portion configured to extend through a second slot disposed in the sidewall of the utility platform.
