A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Abstract There is provided a furling crane loading platform comprising: a cantilever support base; a first stage pivotally coupled to the cantilever support base; and a second stage pivotally coupled to first stage. The platform is configurable in: an unfurled configuration wherein, in use, the first and second stages provide a substantially horizontal crane loading surface extending from a building edge and wherein, in use, when transitioning to the unfurled configuration with the cantilever support base affixed at the building edge, the first stage pivots with respect to the cantilever support base in a first rotational direction and wherein the second stage further pivots with respect to the first stage in the first rotational direction. The platform is further configurable in a furled configuration wherein, when transitioning to the furled configuration with the cantilever support base affixed at the building edge, the second stage pivots with respect to the first stage in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction, and wherein the first stage further pivots with respect to the cantilever support base in the second rotational direction
