Such loading may be done separately from loading other equipment. Theapparatus 100 may allow a contractor to transport more scaffolds and braces than would otherwise be transported. For example, a contractor may load a sufficient number of scaffolds and braces needed for a complete job. By having more scaffolds and braces available on a job site, a contractor may have more flexibility in an initial setup. Such flexibility may lead to less of a need to rearrange the scaffolds and braces throughout the project. Such flexibility may be particularly useful to highly skilled crafts, such as masonry.

Thegate 118 is shown in an open position. After loading thescaffolds 180 a-180 n and/or the braces 182 a-182 n on theapparatus 100, thegate 118 may be closed. In one example, thescaffolds 180 a-180 n may be implemented as a standard size. However, the particular size of thescaffolds 180 a-180 n may be varied. For example, thescaffolds 180 a-180 n may be implemented as a full scaffold size. - Referring to
