(54) Modular platform


(57) There is disclosed a temporary portable platform, suitable for use as a car park, that can be erected over an area (e.g. a ground level car park) to add an extra level e.g. for car parking (27), locating of portable buildings or the like. The platform has potential uses, e.g. for storage or large containers or in any application where more space is required but available land is limited. The platform is made of modular units (1 to 8) shaped to be both easy to transport and quick to erect. The modular units are shaped and constructed such that the entire platform may need only to be supported along two of its edges (7). This construction allows good access to the underside of the platform and the underside itself does not have any columns (14) which may hinder its use.
