Instructions for Scaffolding Construction
Thanks to the flexibility of the wedge connection, the
Ringlock modular scaffolding system can be used for
everything from simple façade scaffolding to complex
industrial support scaffolding. The relevant characteris-
tic values such as stiffness and load-bearing capacity
of the scaffolding system can be found in the approval
certificate Z-8.22-992.
Vertical Standard
The robust Ringlock is made of high-quality steel. For
maximum flexibility, rosettes are welded to the vertical
standards at 50 cm intervals, to which up to 8 compo-
nents can be connected using the widely used and
proven wedge connection.
Ringlock rosette
▪
Each rosette has eight openings. The smaller open-
ings are generally used to help guide the scaffolding
to make 90 degree connections, whereas the larger
opening enable connections at variable angles to be
achieved.
▪
Unless erecting a scaffold around a circular building
structure, align the Base Collar rosettes so that one
of the small openings in the rosette points in the
Ledger direction. The small openings at right angles
to the first will automatically align the Transoms at 90
degrees.
▪
The larger openings are generally used for connect-
ing the diagonal braces.
Ringlock Ledger
The ledgers can be easily installed by sliding the tran-
som head onto the rosette and then wedging it in place.
The wedges are permanently connected to the ledger
and, as an assembly aid, allow a rigid connection to be
made even when the wedge is only loosely inserted.
Before the components are loaded, the tight fit between
the wedge and the rosette or vertical stem must be
achieved with a 500g hammer until impact is felt. The
disassembly of the ledgers is done in reverse order:
The wedge is loosened by hitting it from below with a
hammer and pulled out of the rosette by hand.
