Scaffolding Ring Lock System Accessories

The Ring lock Board Bracket is used to extend the working platform beyond the main scaffold frame. This is especially helpful when the main scaffold cannot be built close enough to the wall due to architectural features like eaves or balconies.

Technical Specifications

• Material Grade: 235JR (a standard structural grade carbon steel known for its reliability in load-bearing applications).
• Available Lengths: * 360mm / 390mm: Designed to hold 1 scaffold board.
• 730mm: Designed to hold 2 scaffold boards.
• 1090mm: Designed to hold 3 scaffold boards.
• Finish: Hot Dip Galvanized as per DIN EN 1461. This provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring the steel doesn't rust even in harsh outdoor or coastal environments.
• Connection: Features a standard Ring lock wedge head to lock into the rosette of a vertical standard.

In scaffolding systems, the Ring lock Ledger (also known as a horizontal) is a fundamental component used to provide lateral support and connect the vertical standards together.

Key Features of Ring lock Ledgers

• Wedge Head Mechanism: At each end of the ledger is a cast-steel head with a captive wedge. This wedge is hammered into the "rosette" (the round disk) on the vertical standard to create a redundant, vibration-proof connection.
• High Rigidity: Because of the tight wedge connection, Ring lock ledgers provide more structural rigidity than traditional tube-and-clamp systems.
• Galvanization: These are typically hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust, which is essential for construction sites exposed to the elements.

The Ring lock Brace End is a casted component designed to connect diagonal braces to the rosette plate in Ring lock scaffolding systems. It features a wedge head mechanism that ensures secure and fast locking, contributing to overall scaffold rigidity and lateral stability.

Key Features

• Casted Brace End Precision strong, vibration-resistant locking into the rosette for diagonal support.
• Quick-Fit Design Enables rapid installation and removal without tools, improving site efficiency.
• High-Strength Steel Manufactured from durable steel for reliable performance under load.
• Corrosion Protection Hot-dip galvanized finish ensures long-term resistance to rust and wear.
• Compatible Geometry Precisely shaped to align with Ringlock rosettes and maintain structural integrity

The Ring lock Diagonal Brace (also known as a Bay Brace) is the component responsible for the structural "squaring" and rigidity of the scaffolding. While ledgers provide the horizontal frame, diagonal braces provide the lateral stability that prevents the scaffold from racking or collapsing due to wind or weight.

Technical Specifications

According to the image and standard engineering for the Ring lock system:

• Tube Diameter: 48.3mm (Standard scaffolding outer diameter).
• Material: S235JR Steel, providing high tensile strength and durability.
• Geometry: These are sized based on a Width (W) x Height (H) ratio.
• Connection: Swivel-style wedge heads at both ends allow the brace to snap into the rosettes at various angles.

The Ringlock Ledger is a horizontal member in the Ringlock scaffolding system, designed to connect between vertical standards via the rosette plate. Each end is equipped with a casted wedge head that locks securely into the rosette, ensuring fast and stable assembly.

• Rigid & Stable Connection Ensures horizontal alignment and structural integrity across the scaffold grid

The Ring Lock Wedge is a Pressed Steel locking pin used to secure ledger and brace heads into the rosette plate of Ring lock scaffolding systems. It ensures a tight, vibration-resistant connection that enhances structural integrity and safety.

Key Features

• Pressed Steel Construction High-strength for durability and load-bearing reliability.
• Self-Locking Mechanism Wedge design locks automatically into rosette openings, eliminating the need for tools.
• Anti-Vibration Fit Maintains tightness under dynamic loads and site movement.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish Hot-dip galvanized or zinc-plated for long-term outdoor performance.
• Universal Compatibility Fits standard Ring lock ledger and brace heads for seamless integration.

The Rosette Ring is the central node in Ring lock scaffolding, allowing up to eight connections for ledgers and braces. Available in forged or stamped versions, it ensures precise alignment, structural integrity, and fast assembly in modular scaffold setups

Key Features

• Multi-Connection Design Eight slots accommodate horizontal and diagonal members at fixed angles (45°, 90°), enabling versatile configurations.
• Forged Variant High-strength, impact-resistant; ideal for heavy-duty and high-load applications.
• Stamped Variant Lightweight and cost-effective; suitable for general-purpose scaffolding.
• Precision Fit Ensures tight locking with wedge heads, minimizing movement and enhancing safety.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish Hot-dip galvanized or zinc-plated for long-term outdoor performance

The Ring Lock System is a modular scaffolding solution engineered for high load-bearing capacity, rapid assembly, and superior structural stability. It utilizes a rosette-type central node that allows multiple connections at various angles, making it ideal for complex geometries and demanding construction environments.

Key Features

• Rosette Connection Plate Centralized forged disc with eight openings enables secure multi-directional connections (horizontal, diagonal, vertical) using wedge heads.
• Wedge Lock Mechanism Fast, tool-free locking system ensures tight joints and vibration resistance, enhancing safety and speed during assembly/disassembly.
• High Load Capacity Designed to support heavy-duty loads, suitable for industrial, infrastructure, and high-rise applications.
• Modular Versatility Adaptable to various configurations—circular, angular, or irregular layouts—without compromising stability.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish Corrosion-resistant surface treatment ensures long-term durability in harsh weather and construction conditions.
• Precision Manufacturing Components are fabricated to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent fit and compliance with international standards (EN 12810/12811, BS 1139).
• Safety & Compliance Engineered to meet global safety norms, with integrated locking and anti-slip features for worker protection.

In the world of modular scaffolding, the Ring lock system is the gold standard for versatility and load-bearing capacity. The interaction between the Standard (the vertical backbone) and the Ledger (the horizontal connector) is what gives the system its structural integrity.

Here is the technical breakdown of these core components.

The Standard (Vertical Post)

The Standard is the primary load-bearing member of the scaffold. It features fixed circular "rosettes" welded at regular intervals (typically every 500mm).

Technical Specifications

• Material: High-strength structural steel.
• Finish: Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for maximum corrosion resistance.
• Tube Dimensions: Standard diameter of 48.3mm with a wall thickness typically ranging from 3.0mm to 4.0mm.
• Rosette Points: Each rosette has 8 openings:
• 4 small openings: Fixed at 90° for ledgers (right angles).
• 4 large openings: For diagonal braces, allowing for various angles.

The Ring lock Wall Tie is a critical safety component used to anchor a scaffolding structure directly to a permanent building or solid structure. Without these, a tall scaffold is at risk of tipping or swaying away from the face of the building.

Technical Specifications

While the image focuses on the visual identification, these accessories typically follow these industry standards:

• Material: High-strength structural steel.
• Material: High-strength structural steel.
• Connection End: One end features a hook or specialized attachment point designed to interface with an eye-bolt anchored into the wall.
• Tube Diameter: Usually standard 48.3mm, allowing it to be connected to the scaffold using standard right-angle or swivel couplers.
