B66C 1/10
E04G 21/32
B66C 23/82
B66C 23/26

Abstract:

A deck for use in construction, the deck comprising: a stationary support structure including at least a first box tube and a second box tube disposed parallel to the first box tube, the stationary support structure being positionable entirely within an edge of a floor of a building; a bottom plate extending between said first box tube and said second box tube; 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 having one or more wheel structures located along one or more sides of the platform, wherein the one or more wheel structures are comprised of a wheel mount and one or more wheels and the one or more wheels are configured to roll along a top surface of the first box tube and/or a top surface 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.

B66C 23/06

Abstract:

This invention relates generally to a deck with a slidable platform such as for use in construction. In one embodiment, the a deck includes, but is not limited to, at least one fixed member positionable on a floor of a building, the at least one fixed member including at least one drive mechanism coupled thereto or disposed therein; at least one extension member that is coupled to the at least one drive mechanism, the at least one extension member operable to retractably extend from the at least one fixed member beyond an edge of the floor in response to actuation of the at least one drive mechanism; and a platform that is detached from the at least one fixed member and that is coupled to the at least one extension member such that the platform is operable to retractably extend beyond the edge of the floor in conjunction with the at least one extension member, the platform including at least one wheel operable to interface directly or indirectly with the floor of the building for distributing at least some weight from the platform to the floor of the building.

E04G 21/14

Abstract:

This invention relates generally to a method for making a deck for use in construction. In one embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, positioning a first box tube substantially parallel to a second box tube; attaching a plate to the first box tube and the second box tube, the plate extending between the first box tube and the second box tube; coupling a hydraulic cylinder to the plate; slidably inserting a first extension member at least partially into the first box tube; slidably inserting a second extension member at least partially into the second box tube, the first and second extension members having a beam extending therebetween; coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the beam; positioning a platform having one or more wheels on the plate and over the hydraulic cylinder such that the platform is rollable relative to the plate; and attaching the platform to the beam such that the platform is operable to retractably extend beyond an edge of a floor of a building in conjunction with the first and second extension members in response to actuation of the at least one hydraulic cylinder.
