A platform system comprising a platform including a plurality of sides, whereby the platform is created from a single, continuous piece of sheet metal that is cut and folded to form the platform, and wherein each side of the platform defines a set of apertures, wherein the set of apertures allow the respective side of the platform to interchangeably connect to a plurality of components that are configured to connect to the platform.
A platform system comprising:
- a platform having a plurality of identical sides, wherein each side defines a first set of apertures;
- and
- at least two components, wherein the two components are different from one another, wherein each component defines a second set of apertures;
- wherein the first set of apertures aligns with the second set of apertures in order to allow each side of the platform to interchangeably connect with either of the at least two components.
