ABSTRACT:
A foldable scaffold which can be erected to the side of a scaffold anchor having a horizontal member pivotally mounted at one end to the scaffold anchor and a support member pivotally mounted at one end to the horizontal member and the other end releasably mounted on the support anchor. A pin is provided for selectively holding the horizontal member in a first horizontal position and for releasing the horizontal member from that first horizontal position to allow the horizontal member and the support member to pivot to a second position in which the horizontal and support members are closely approximated with the scaffold anchor. If, for instance, the scaffold anchor is a gangform, the disassembly, storage, transport and re-assembly of the gangform is greatly facilitated by the fact that the scaffold is folded and re-erected by merely inserting two pins into the horizontal member and support member.
