The invention is a support platform for providing a stable and secure work surface when the existing surface is irregular, such as open ground, or when the existing surface is inconvenient, such as a staircase. The support platform is configured to be transported by a single person, deployed for use, and taken down and stowed as needed. The support platform can be used for directly supporting a person, or can be used for supporting a tool, such as a ladder in a manner that provides secure and slip-resistant support. In some cases, the platform is larger and/or heavier and is transportable by multiple persons or with assistance selected from the group consisting of mechanical assistance, power assistance, and automation. |
