Abstract
A articulating staging system includes a series of interconnected stage links each having a platform and a support frame. A fixed central stage link is provided to which intermediate stage links are attached. Additional intermediate stage links may be attached to adjacent intermediate stage links. End stage links may attach to adjacent stage links to provide an access point. The intermediate and end stage links articulate about one another and the central stage link to position and reposition the system around a structure for repair, assembly, and maintenance work. The central stage link has opposing concave ends to which convex ends of the intermediate stage links interface. The intermediate stage links have a concave end to which an adjacent intermediate stage link interfaces. The end stage link interfaces similarly. The stage links interface by way of the support frames which interconnected underneath the platforms of the stage links.
