ABSTRACT:
A support assembly primarily designed to be connected in supporting relation to a scaffold and structured, through placement of its various components, to move the scaffold assembly along an inclined surface such as on a roof. The support assembly includes a frame and preferably at least two support wheels extending outwardly from said frame and into movable engagement with the inclined surface so as to support the frame thereon. A platform for interconnection to the scaffold element is movably and adjustably positioned on the frame by means of a platform positioning assembly which, through its interconnection to the platform, defines the platform's angular orientation relative to the plane. A plurality of platform positioning rollers are disposed in spaced apart relation to one another and movably adjustable to extend beyond the support wheels so as to supportingly engage the inclined surface in a manner to allow accomplishment of lateral movement of the frame in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof so as to provide lateral positioning of the entire scaffold assembly as well as its vertical displacement along the inclined angle of the inclined surface.
