Adjustable standoff for platform hoist

A platform hoist comprising:

• a track comprising two rails connected by a plurality of rungs, a peak connecting the rails at one end of the track, and a pulley connected to the peak;
• a carriage connected to the pulley system and adapted to move up and down the track;
• and
• an adjustable standoff adapted to permit the carriage to traverse the entire length of the track, the adjustable standoff comprising:
• a frame having a length and a width, the frame comprising
• two side assemblies, having a top edge opposite a bottom edge and a flange edge opposite a stabilizer edge, the assemblies aligned along opposite lengths of the frame, each assembly comprising
• a top flange closer to the top edge than a bottom flange, each flange projecting from the flange edge in the direction of the opposite assembly and including a hook projecting away from the assemblies, each hook adapted to engage the upper rungs of the material transport apparatus, and
• an apse projecting from the stabilizer edge, the apse having a radial edge, a center hole closer to the bottom edge than the top edge, and a plurality of outer radius holes closer to the radial edge than the center hole;
• and
• a stabilizer section running the width of the frame connecting the stabilizer edge of each assembly, wherein the stabilizer section is closer to the top edge than the apse;
• two legs each having an assembly edge and opposite anchor edge, each leg comprising
• a pivot hole, an adjustment hole, and an anchor hole,
• wherein the pivot holes are closer to the assembly edges than the adjustment holes which is closer to the assembly edges than the anchor holes,
• wherein the legs are connected to opposite sides of the frame with removable fasteners that pass through the pivot holes and the central holes and the legs are further adapted to be adjusted along the radius edge of the apse by removable fasteners passing though the adjustment holes and one of the outer radius holes;
• an anchor section comprising
• an anchor plate including a plurality of holes adapted to permit the anchor plate to be connected to a roof, structure, or exterior wall with removable fasteners,
• two leg flanges projecting in a substantially perpendicular direction from the anchor plate, each leg flange including a leg hole, wherein the anchor section is connected to the legs by removable fasteners passing through the leg holes and the anchor holes,
• wherein the adjustable standoff is adapted to support loads in excess of 375 pounds and not contact the rails.
