An expandable platform (80) which can be used with scaffolding, in construction and in other applications. In one embodiment, the platform includes a first platform section (62) which is slidably mounted to a second platform section (64). A locking means (82) is provided for locking the sections against relative sliding. The first platform section is movable between a retracted position in which it is typically nested (and retained) within the second platform section, and an extended position wherein it extends out from the second platform section and typically only a relatively short portion of the first section is retained within the second platform section. In another embodiment, the platform section (150) is capable of angular expansion rather than linear expansion. The platform includes a first platform section (154) and a second platform section (156), the first platform section being mounted for pivotal rotation about a pivot axis. Typically, the first platform section can be rotated between a retracted position in which it is nested within the second platform section, and an extended position in which it extends out from the second platform section. |
