Creating Safe Gaps in Platforms
The following examples illustrate how to create safe
openings or cover unwanted gaps in Ringlock scaffold
platforms.
Mid Tansoms
Use the Mid Transom to create Plank support any-
where within a bay. Install hooks at each end of the
transom over the Ledgers. A horizontal wedge at one
end secures the Transom from sliding out of position.
The Mid Transom is ideal for covering large openings in
a platform.
An Alternative method utilizes Ringlock ledgers
installed with the Horizontal Rosette coupler.
Ledger to Plank Transoms
The Ledger to Plank Transom method is similar to the
Mid Transom method except the Ledger to Plank Tran-
som method secures to a Ledger at one end and rests
on a Ringlock Plank at the other. The Ledger to Plank
Transom method is particularly useful when openings
are required next to the edge of a bay.
Plank to Plank Transoms
Install the Plank to Plank Transom anywhere along the
length of two Ringlock Planks. Use this method to cre-
ate an opening in the middle of a platform.
