Abstract
A scaffolding system for use on an inclined surface, such as inside a ship cargo hold. The scaffolding system includes a scaffold pole and a support bracket that secures the scaffold pole to a support surface. The support bracket is only in place temporarily and is removed once the work is finished. A swivel foot is coupled to the scaffold pole. The swivel foot is configured to pivotally align with the inclined surface. A preventer is attached to the scaffold pole, and uses the support surface to prevent the scaffold pole from sliding along the inclined surface, and to provide additional lateral support.
