Abstract
A deck for use in construction, the deck comprising: one or more stationary support structure modules including at least a first box tube, a second box tube disposed parallel to the first box tube, and one or more support cross-beams, the one or more stationary support structure modules being configured to removably couple to each other to create a combined support structure being positionable entirely within an edge of a floor of a building: a hoist mounted on the combined support structure such that the hoist is operable to project from inside the edge of the floor to a point beyond the edge of the floor for lifting one or more loads.

A deck for use in construction, the deck comprising:
- a stationary support structure comprising at least a connector extending between a first box tube and a second box tube;
- the first box tube and the second box tube positioned parallel to the first box tube, the stationary support structure being positionable entirely within an edge of a floor of a building;
- wherein the first box tube is further comprised of a first wheel catch where the first wheel catch is positioned at a first end of a top face of the first box tube, and
- wherein the second box tube is further comprised of a second wheel catch where the second wheel catch is positioned at a first end of a top face of the second box tube;
- and
- a first extension member disposed within the first box tube and being operable to retractably extend from the first box tube;
- a second extension member disposed within the second box tube and being operable to retractably extend from the second box tube;
- and
- a platform connected to the first extension member and second extension member having at least two wheels wherein at least one wheel is positioned on a first side of the platform and is configured to roll along the top face of the first box tube, and at least one wheel is positioned parallel to the first wheel on a second side of the platform and is configured to roll along the top face of the second box tube;
- and wherein the platform is operable to retractably extend at least partly beyond the edge of the floor in conjunction with the first extension member and the second extension member.
A hoist for use in construction, the deck comprising:
- one or more stationary support structure modules including at least a first box tube, a second box tube disposed parallel to the first box tube, and one or more support cross-beams, the one or more stationary support structure modules being configured to removably couple to each other to create a combined support structure being positionable entirely within an edge of a floor of a building;
- a hoist mounted on the combined support structure such that the hoist is operable to project from inside the edge of the floor to a point beyond the edge of the floor for lifting one or more loads.
