Ringlock scaffolding system and components

A scaffold with ringlock connection is one of the most popular types of modular scaffolds. Modular or system scaffolds consist of prefabricated scaffold parts and therefore differ significantly from the traditional tube and clamp scaffold. We have already prepared detailed blog posts on the difference between tube and clamp scaffold and system scaffold.

The ringlock system scaffold is particularly suitable for quick and at the same time simple assembly. Flexibility and versatility also characterise this type of modular scaffold. But aren't flexibility and prefabricated connection points mutually exclusive? Quite the opposite. You only have to look at how the ringlock connection works:

The core of the ringlock system is the uprights with fixed rosette connectors, each of which has 8 punched holes. Up to 8 bars and diagonals can now be hooked into these and fastened with a hammer. This is much faster than with the usual ratchet.

The steps for attaching the ledgers and diagonals to the connection point are simple and always the same:

1. Position the ledger or diagonal
2. Insert the wedge
3. Hit the wedge with the hammer to create a load-bearing connection

With the eight notches in the rosette, different angles can be set so that, for example, rounded or other angled shapes can be realised.

A ringlock modular scaffold therefore allows a wide range of applications - and consists of a small number of basic components. This is a great advantage especially during transport and storage. Our RINGSCAFF modular scaffolding, for example, consists only of the following basic scaffolding parts:

01 Base jack
02 Base collar
03 Standards with rings
04 Horizontal ledger
05 Vertical diagonal
06 Horizontal diagonal
07 Decks

With a ringlock modular scaffolding, you have great angular flexibility. This makes it ideal for objects with complex shapes. Therefore, you can use this type of system scaffold for a wide range of projects in different sectors.
