Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an equipment platform comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, and a hollowed portion between the top and bottom portions. The hollowed portion may comprise two entry inlets configured to receive a pair of forklift tynes. The equipment platform has a lower section and an upper section on the top portion, where the lower section is configured to receive a heavy piece of equipment, such as a pallet jack, and the upper section is configured to receive at least one person that may guide and stabilize the piece of equipment in the lower section. Modifications to the equipment platform may include attaching handrails and/or cables to the upper section to increase the safety of a person standing in the upper section of the equipment platform.

An equipment platform, comprising:
- a top portion, wherein the top portion comprises at least one rectangular lower section and at least one rectangular upper section, wherein the upper section has a smaller surface area than the lower section, and wherein the at least one rectangular lower section and the at least one rectangular upper section are constructed of different materials;
- a pair of opposed sidewalls coupled to the lower section, wherein the pair of opposed sidewalls extends upward from the lower section along a longitudinal axis L and terminates at a bottom edge of the lower section;
- a bottom portion;
- and
- a triangular-shaped hollowed portion that is between the top portion and the bottom portion, wherein the hollowed portion extends along the longitudinal axis L and a traverse axis T, and wherein the top portion and bottom portion are constructed of at least one of:
- steel, titanium, impact resistant plastic, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
An equipment platform, comprising:
- a top portion comprising a sloped, rectangular lower section and an elevated, rectangular upper section, wherein the upper section comprises a smaller surface area than the lower section, and wherein the lower section and the upper section are constructed of different materials;
- a border affixed to the outer edge of the upper section, wherein the border is at least six inches above the lower section;
- a pair of opposed sidewalls coupled to the lower section, wherein the pair of opposed sidewalls extends upward from the lower section along a longitudinal axis L and terminates at a bottom edge of the lower section;
- and
- a triangular-shaped hollowed portion, wherein the hollowed portion comprises an interior space between the top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion and bottom portion are constructed of at least one of:
- steel, titanium, impact resistant plastic, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
An equipment platform, comprising:
- a top portion, wherein the top portion comprises a lower rectangular section and an upper rectangular section, wherein the lower rectangular section is sloped at a 45-degree angle, and wherein the upper rectangular section is elevated above the lower rectangular section, wherein the upper rectangular section has a smaller surface area than the lower rectangular section, and wherein the lower rectangular section and the upper rectangular section are constructed of different materials;
- a bottom portion that is connected to the top portion via at least four sides;
- a pair of opposed sidewalls coupled to the lower rectangular section, wherein the pair of opposed sidewalls extends upward from the lower rectangular section along a longitudinal axis L and terminates at a bottom edge of the lower rectangular section;
- and
- a triangular-shaped hollowed portion that is between the top portion and the bottom portion, wherein the hollowed portion comprises two entry inlets configured to receive at least two forklift tynes, wherein the top portion and bottom portion are constructed of at least one of:
- steel, titanium, impact resistant plastic, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
