ABSTRACT:
Scaffolding apparatus requiring no cross bracing and having adjustable outriggers for facilitating work on a contoured surface. The disclosed scaffolding arrangement defines a plurality of horizontal levels which are spaced apart from the contoured surface. The horizontal levels are formed from horizontally disposed structural members which are supported solely from the vertical columns. No cross bracing is required between the horizontal levels of the scaffolding. Except for the vertical support columns, the horizontal levels or work areas are open. The open work areas permit easy movement of men, material and equipment. Outriggers which are adjustable in length are provided between the fixed horizontal work platforms and the contoured surface. These adjustable outriggers can be extended outward into close proximity with the contoured surface. Thus the horizontal work platform can be extended as close as desired to the contoured surface. Selected portions of the work surface can also be moved back to permit movement of equipment from one horizontal layer to the next along the contoured surface. The disclosed outriggers utilize connectors which limit movement of the outrigger about its point of connection.
