Choosing the wrong Ringlock specification can delay your project, compromise safety, or blow your budget. This guide breaks down the exact standard for professional B2B procurement:
Key Technical Features
- Rosette connection: 360-degree flexibility, 8 connection points per rosette
- Wedge locking mechanism: Hammer-driven, tool-free assembly — no nuts and bolts
- Material: High-strength Q355 or Q235 steel with hot-dip galvanized finish (60–80 microns) for corrosion resistance
Ringlock Specification Selector
| Project Type | Recommended System | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| High-rise building construction | Heavy-duty Ringlock (4.0mm wall thickness) |
Focus on vertical load capacity and wind resistance |
| Industrial plant maintenance | Standard Ringlock (3.2mm) with galvanized finish |
Corrosion resistance is critical |
| Oil & gas / petrochemical projects | Heavy-duty + full HDG coating | Strict compliance with EN 12810/12811 required |
| Bridge / infrastructure projects | Custom standard lengths | Often requires non-standard bay sizes |
| Interior renovation / light access | Light-duty Ringlock (2.75mm–3.0mm) |
Faster assembly and lower cost |
| Component Type | Dimensions / Spec | Material Grade | Wall Thickness | Max Axial Load (kN) | Primary Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Vertical) | 3.0m / OD 48.3mm | Q355 Steel | 3.2mm | 85 – 100 kN | General Commercial Construction |
| Standard (Vertical) | 3.0m / OD 48.3mm | Q355 Steel | 4.0mm | 120 – 140 kN | Heavy Industrial & Infrastructure |
| Ledger (Horizontal) | 2.07m | Q235 Steel | 3.0mm | 25 – 30 kN | Standard Working Platforms |
| Ledger (Horizontal) | 2.57m | Q235 Steel | 3.2mm | 30 – 35 kN | Wider Bay Heavy-Duty Platforms |
| Diagonal Brace | Standard Configurations | Q235 Steel | 2.5mm | Lateral Stability | Wind Load Resistance & Rigidity |
A complete Ringlock system includes:
Standards (Verticals)
OD 48.3mm • Rosette spacing exactly 500mm • Spigot pin compatible
Ledgers (Horizontals)
Cast steel wedge heads • Captive wedge pins • Correct bay length
Diagonal Braces
Swivel wedge heads • Pivot function for variable angles
Base Collars / Jacks
Single rosette • Stem diameter (30–38mm) • Rated load
Mid Transoms
O-type or U-type • Matches ledger spacing precisely
💡 Pro Tip:
Request sample components before bulk orders. Test the wedge connection—it must lock firmly with one hammer strike and release cleanly.
