Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a a set comprising a container and parts of a scaffold assembly.
  • formwork is used in concrete construction to provide a mould or a surface onto which wet concrete can be poured for forming features such as floor slabs and beams for example.
  • floor slabs it is common for floors of a multi-story building to be formed sequentially and for formwork to be set out on a preceding floor in order to form the subsequent higher floor.
  • a shoring or scaffolding system is used to support elevated forms comprising either lost (i.e. not reusable) formwork or a formwork that can be removed from the concrete slab once the concrete is set.
  • Reusable formwork may comprise aluminium formwork pans which are held at the top of the scaffolding.
  • sheets or boards may also be used at the top of the framework.
  • the process of assembling the shoring scaffold system, and the formwork in turn, first requires that the numerous necessary elements (or parts) be raised to the elevated level at which these are required. This is typically done using pallets. Pallets are moved one at a time using a forklift or pallet jack, and the unloaded pallets present a problem, as they must be moved and stored until required.
  • a set according to claim 1 comprising a container for part of a scaffold assembly, the parts of a scaffold assembly, wherein the scaffold assembly is in its mounted state substantially rectilinear in planform and the parts comprise a plurality of uprights at or near each of the corners of the scaffold assembly, the container comprising a base which is substantially rectilinear in planform and has four corners; side walls mounted along a pair of sides of the base, and end walls mounted along a pair of ends of the base, and a mounting point at or near each of the corners, each for engaging an upright (or prop) of the scaffold assembly, each mounting point cooperatively located to match a planform of the upright of the scaffold assembly, wherein each mounting point comprises a through aperture configured such that: a) when a lower end of a corresponding upright part of the scaffold assembly is received through the through aperture of the corresponding mounting point from above the container, each upright extends to a floor or ground surface on which the container is also supported, to store the container within the footprint of the
