The scaffolding system comprises multiple critical component types, vertical poles, horizontal poles, diagonal braces, pedals, and locks. These can provide the anchoring base for the entire structure while also simplifying the construction process and increasing its efficiency.

      The ease of modularity and flexibility represents the very core of the scaffolding. The components are fastened together firmly and accurately through a locking mechanism, which also ensures the safety of fast assembly and disassembly during construction. It makes scaffolding flexible in terms of construction works for high-rise buildings, bridges, or industrial maintenance.

      This paper will present a detailed composition of the ring lock scaffolding parts, design, and functional benefits while orienting customers on why ringlock scaffolding can be relied on for safe and efficient construction. Core components of ringlock scaffolding

Ringlock Scaffolding Components

Standards

      The vertical pole is the component of the scaffolding system built to an erect position into a vertical supporting system, which plays a key role in uniting the other support system. Each vertical pole has several circular scaffolding nodes installed at regular intervals. These nodes provide different angles for the installation of crossbars and diagonal braces, and consequently, support itself in the construction of the complex structure.

• Size: 0.5m to 3m, common lengths are 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m and 3m.
• Weight: 3m pole weighs about 15-17kg.
• Material: Q235 or Q345 high-strength steel, hot-dip galvanized.
• Design features: Equipped with multiple buckle nodes, allowing flexible connection of crossbars and diagonal braces.

Ledgers

      The crossbar is the element in the scaffolding side connection. As a horizontal support means, it is used to connect the vertical standards together firmly. Two ends are fitted with pins that can be plugged quickly into the buckle node of the verticle poles and locked. This basically pin-type connection allows one, during installation, to conduct it much faster and more efficiently. In addition to connecting the vertical standards together, the crossbar strengthens the overall structure and thus improves scaffolding against deformation.

• Size: 0.3m to 3m, common lengths include 0.3m, 0.6m, 0.9m, 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.5m.
• Weight: 1.2m crossbar weighs about 5-7kg.
• Material: Q235 or Q345 steel, hot-dip galvanized.
• Design features: The latch design makes the connection fast and efficient. 

Diagonal Braces

      Diagonal bracing offers diagonal support within the system of scaffolding and enhances the anti-tilting and resistance to deformational changes of the structure as a whole. Utilizing different support nodes, the scaffolding system can offer a sturdier three-dimensional support system with added stability and strength. This is particularly imperative in constructional projects involving high-rise buildings and/or complex structures, thereby improving the stability of the scaffold during working, and subsequently ensuring construction safety.

• Size: 1m to 3m.
• Weight: 2m diagonal brace weighs about 6-8kg.
• Material: Q235 or Q345 steel, hot-dip galvanized.
• Design features: Provides diagonal support and enhances stability.

Decks/Planks

      As a construction platform, the pedal is the direct support surface for construction personnel and equipment. The pedals of the buckle scaffold are usually made of steel or aluminum, with high load-bearing capacity and non-slip surface to ensure the safety of construction personnel. The pedals can be flexibly arranged according to construction needs to meet the requirements of working platforms of different widths and heights, so that the buckle scaffold can adapt to a variety of construction scenarios.

• Size: Length 1m to 3m, width 0.3m to 0.5m.
• Weight: 2m steel pedal weighs about 15-20kg.
• Material: hot-dip galvanized steel or aluminum alloy.
• Design features: non-slip surface, adaptable to a variety of work platform needs.

Rosettes And Wedges

      The lock and the lock pin are the core components of the disc lock scaffolding connection system. The lock is usually a round disc lock node on the vertical pole. Its eight-hole design allows the crossbar and diagonal brace to be connected at different angles; while the lock pin completes the locking between components by simply inserting and tapping. This innovative design not only increases the installation speed, but also ensures the stability of the connection and greatly reduces the possibility of misoperation.
