The ringlock scaffolding system consists of several key components, including ringlock standards, ledgers, diagonal braces, scaffolding walk boards, U-head jacks, base jacks, trusses, and ladders. These components can be securely connected together using a locking mechanism. This guide will provide a detailed introduction to each pieces of the ringlock scaffolding system.

 

Ringlock Standard

Ringlock standards are the vertical support components of the scaffolding system. Each ringlock standard has circular scaffolding nodes welded at 500mm intervals, used to connect components such as ringlock ledgers and ringlock diagonal braces. Ringlock standards are connected using internal connectors. We offer two types of ringlock standards: with and without internal connectors.

Standard Specifications:

Length: Common lengths are 0.5 meters, 1 meter, 1.5 meters, 2 meters, 2.5 meters, and 3 meters.

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Diameter: 48.3mm

Surface treatment: Galvanized

Ringlock Base Collar

The ringlock base collar is a fundamental component of the ringlock scaffolding system. It consists of a circular node, a 48.3mm inner diameter tube (for connecting to the base jack), and a 57mm outer tube (for connecting to the ringlock standard). It is typically used to connect the ringlock standard and the base jack, ensuring a stable foundation for the scaffolding.

Base Collar Specifications:

Dimensions: Common sizes include 240mm and 430mm; custom sizes are also available upon request.

Weight: Approximately 2-3 kg

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Surface Treatment: Galvanized

Ringlock Rosette

The ringlock rosette is an important component of the vertical posts in the ringlock scaffolding system.  It is welded onto the ringlock standard and connects to components such as ringlock ledgers, ringlock diagonal braces, and ringlock brackets. The ringlock rosette has eight holes, allowing for connections in eight directions, enabling flexible assembly of scaffolding systems in various shapes.

Rosette Specifications:

Wall thickness: 8-10 mm

Diameter: 120 mm

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel plate

Surface treatment: Galvanized

 

Ringlock Ledger

The ringlock ledger is a horizontal support component in the ringlock scaffolding system, used to connect the standards and build the ringlock system framework, improving the scaffolding's resistance to deformation. The ringlock ledger has welded crossbar heads at both ends, which can be quickly inserted into and locked onto the ringlock rosette on the ringlock standard. This method makes the installation process of the scaffolding system faster and more efficient.

Ledger Specifications:

Length: Common lengths include 0.3m, 0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, and 2.5m.

Diameter: 48.3mm

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized

 

 

Ringlock Diagonal Brace

Ringlock diagonal braces are used to diagonally connect Ringlock ledgers and Ringlock standards. By utilizing different support nodes, they form a stronger triangular support system, enhancing the strength and stability of the scaffolding system. Both ends of the Ringlock diagonal brace are welded with wedge-shaped structures that can be directly inserted into the Ringlock rosette on the Ringlock standard.

Diagonal Brace Specifications:

Length: 1 meter to 3 meters, generally customized according to the length of the Ringlock standard and ledger.

Diameter: 48.3 mm

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized

 

 

Scaffolding Walk Board

Scaffolding walk boards, serving as the main working platform for the ringlock scaffolding system, are typically made of steel or aluminum.  They require anti-slip and anti-corrosion treatment on the surface and possess high load-bearing capacity and a non-slip surface. Scaffolding walk boards are equipped with safety hooks at both ends to securely fasten them to the ringlock ledgers, ensuring worker safety and platform stability.

Walk Board Specifications:

Length: Available in various lengths, typically 1 meter to 3 meters.

Width: 0.3 meters to 0.5 meters

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized, with anti-slip perforated design for drainage, anti-slip and anti-corrosion properties.

 

Ringlock Toe Board

Ringlock toe boards are vertical barriers installed along the sides of scaffolding platforms or open areas.  Through an interlocking design, they enclose the platform area, preventing tools and equipment from falling off the platform, thus providing additional safety protection for working at height on scaffolding.

Toe Board Specifications:

Length: 0.4 meters - 3 meters

Width: 152 mm

Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized

 

Ringlock Bracket

Ringlock Brackets are essential tools for safely extending work platforms or access platforms.  Using these Ringlock Brackets to connect with ringlock standards and ledgers allows scaffolding walk boards to extend beyond the main frame, providing workers with crucial extra space to stand on or to store necessary tools and materials along the edges.

Bracket Specifications:

Dimensions: Standard size is 300 mm x 200 mm

Material: Q235 galvanized steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized

 

 

U Head Jack

The U head jack is installed at the top of the scaffolding and its height is adjustable, used to support beams.  It allows for fine height adjustments during construction.

U Head Jack Specifications:

Dimensions: Height is typically adjustable between 300 mm and 600 mm.

Weight: Approximately 7-10 kg.

Material: High-strength steel.

Surface treatment: Galvanized.

   

Base Jack

Base jacks are installed at the bottom of the scaffolding system to support it.  The height of the scaffolding can be adjusted by turning the nuts, and the base jacks also provide stability to the system.

Base Jack Specifications:

Height: 300-1500mm

Base plate: 300-500mm

Material: Q235 steel

Surface treatment: Galvanized, painted

   

 

Ringlock Truss

Ringlock truss is a horizontal component of the ringlock scaffolding system, composed of multiple steel rods forming a stable triangular structure. It offers greater load-bearing capacity compared to ringlock ledgers.

Ringlock Truss Specifications:

Size: 1-3 meters

Weight: Approximately 10-15 kg

Material: Q235 or Q345 steel

 

 

Scaffolding Ladder

Scaffolding ladders can be directly connected to the scaffolding system, seamlessly integrating with the scaffolding structure to create multi-level access.  They feature platforms, stair sections, and convenient entry and exit points, providing safe access for workers.

Scaffolding Ladder Specifications:

Dimensions: Common heights are 2 meters and 3 meters.

Material: Aluminum alloy or steel.

Surface Treatment: Galvanized

   


FAQ

Q: Is the spacing between the upright discs fixed?

A: The upright discs are welded at equal intervals. The standard spacing is 500mm (recommended by national standards). For special scenarios, spacings of 300mm/600mm/1000mm can be customized.


Q: What are the specifications for the length of the horizontal bars? Can they be customized?

A: Common lengths for horizontal bars are: 0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m, 2.5m, and 3.0m to meet different scaffolding span requirements. Non-standard lengths (such as 3.5m and 4.0m) can be customized.


Q: Can the diagonal braces be omitted, using only uprights and horizontal bars?

A: It is strictly forbidden to omit the diagonal braces: The diagonal braces are core components for the scaffolding's resistance to lateral displacement and overturning. A scaffolding structure using only uprights and horizontal bars is a "rigid frame structure" with extremely poor lateral stiffness. Under construction loads and wind loads, the scaffolding is highly susceptible to collapse, violating national safety standards.
