Abstract

A portable support platform includes a top component coupled with a bottom component. The top component includes first and second end sections, and a first top surface extending therebetween. A top male section and a female top section extend downwardly from the first top surface. The top male section has a first bottom surface configured to engage a support surface. The bottom component includes first and second end sections, and a second bottom surface extending therebetween and configured to engage the support surface.
