Interlocking Work Platform and System

A method for using a work platform system comprising the steps of:

• sliding a first hook assembly attached adjacent to a first end of a first scaffold into a use position where the first hook assembly extends below and outward beyond the first scaffold between a first rail and a second rail of a first leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to the first end of the first scaffold from a stowed position where the first hook assembly is retracted below the first scaffold;
• placing a second latch assembly attached to a second scaffold adjacent a first end of the second scaffold on the first hook assembly in the use position;
• and
• pushing down on the second scaffold so the second latch assembly engages with the first hook assembly and locks the first work platform to the second work platform with the first scaffold coplanar with the second scaffold and forming a surface.

A method for producing a work platform comprising the steps of:

• attaching a track to an underside of a scaffold;
• fitting a hook assembly to the track so the first hook assembly so the hook assembly slides along the track from a stowed position into a deployed position, where the first hook assembly extends below and outward beyond the first scaffold between a first rail and a second rail of a first leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to the first end of the first scaffold, and when the first hook assembly is in a stowed position, the first hook assembly is retracted below the first scaffold;
• and
• attaching a latch assembly to the bottom of the scaffold.

A work platform comprising:

• a first scaffold having a first end and a second end and a plane upon which a user can stand;
• a first leg assembly rotatably attached with bolts to the first end of the first scaffold having a first rail and a second rail and a rung attached to the first rail and the second rail, the first leg assembly in a folded position relative to the first scaffold and essentially in parallel the plane of the first scaffold;
• a second leg assembly rotatably attached with bolts to the second end of the first scaffold, the second leg assembly in an open position relative to the first scaffold and essentially perpendicular to the plane of the first scaffold;
• a first hook assembly slidingly attached to the first scaffold adjacent the first end which slides between a use position where the first hook assembly extends below and outward beyond the first scaffold between the first rail and the second rail of the first leg assembly and a stowed position where the first hook assembly is retracted below the first scaffold, the first hook assembly having a hook crossbar, and
• a first latch assembly having latch assembly recesses and hooks positioned about the recesses attached to the first scaffold adjacent the second end.
