Abstract
A construction platform includes an inboard portion that attaches to a floor of a building under construction and an outboard portion that extends beyond the floor to allow loading and unloading of material from a crane. A hinged joint extends through both the inboard portion and the outboard portion of the construction platform to allow the construction platform to fold up for storage and transport.
Claims16
A folding construction platform for landing and loading material comprising:
- an inboard platform portion that has attachment features for attaching the construction platform to a structural feature;
- an outboard platform portion that has a landing deck that extends laterally from the structural feature;
- and
- a hinged joint that divides the construction platform into a first side and a second side along a line that runs through both the inboard portion and the outboard portion, the hinged joint providing a range of angular variation between the first side and the second side.

A folding construction platform for attaching to a floor of a building under construction to load and unload material from a crane comprising:
- a first platform portion that has a first platform anchoring component for anchoring the folding construction platform to a floor that underlies the anchoring component, the first platform portion also having a first landing surface that extends outwards from the floor;
- a second platform portion that has a second platform anchoring component for anchoring the folding construction platform to the floor that underlies the anchoring component, the second platform portion also having a second landing surface that extends outwards from the floor;
- and
- a hinge joint that joins the first portion to the second portion and provides a range of angular variation between the first landing surface and the second landing surface, the range of angular variation including an unfolded position in which the first landing surface and the second landing surface extend along a common plane and a folded position in which the first landing surface and the second landing surface face in opposite directions.
