Ringlock Scaffolding Standards

Ringlock Scaffolding Standards Spigots

Ringlock scaffolding standard normal length/size is 0.5m to 4.0m. To achieve the designed height, ringlock standards are stacked using ringlock spigots (joint pins or connectors).

Ringlock spigots can be fixed to the standards using either a pressed-in or a bolted method.

• Pressed-in ringlock scaffolding spigots are a type of fixing joint pins of the ringlock standards.  They are nonremovable. Prefabricated fixing spigots require no assembly in construction, saving time
• Bolted ringlock spigots are assembled on the ringlock uprights by bolts and nuts. They are removable by releasing the nut and removing the bolt. Bolted ringlock spigots are convenient for receiving top heads (adjustable or fixed U head, fork head, J head, etc.), which are widely used in slab and beam concrete shoring.

Press-In Spigot Ring Lock Scaffold Standards

Press-in ring lock standards have a coupling pin inserted into the top of one standard and pressed into place, eliminating the need for bolts or welding. Called pressed ringlock standard.

Features of Press-In Ringlock Standards: 

1. Seamless Alignment: Ensures that stacked Ringlock standards stay perfectly vertical.
2. Quick and Easy Installation – Workers do not need an assembly spigot for scaffolding erection.
3. Strong and Secure Connection – Prevents misalignment or instability.

Bolted Spigot Ring System Standards

When spigots are fixed to the ring lock system using bolts and nuts, it is called a bolted ringlock standard.

Features of Bolted Ringlock Scaffolding Standards 

1. Spigots can be removed. They are needed when standards need to work with the scaffold top head(U head, forkhead, etc.) in shoring and shuttering.
2. Take more load. The bolts are 8.8 class, which takes more load than a pressed-in spigot.
3. Strong Joints: More stable for tall structures and heavy loads (e.g., shoring)

Ringlock Scaffolding Standards without Spigot

Ringlock standards without spigots are typical scaffold uprights for formwork scaffold, shoring scaffolding, or falsework. Called open-end ringlock standards. They have no coupling pins but connect with scaffold u head, fork head to support formwork beams(H20 beams, Aluma beams -Aluminium beams), hollow sections in shoring and concrete forming.

Open-end ringlock standards can be assembled with spigots using bolts and nuts through the holes in typical building and construction scaffolding for stacking.

Features of Open-End Ringlock Scaffolding Standards 

1. Convenient connection with top heads for concrete formwork beam support
2. Flexible to use in typical construction by assembling the spigot with standards by bolts and nuts
3. Lighter weight
4. Save cost: with no cost of the spigot.

How to Assembly Ringlock Scaffold Standards

1. 1. 1. Inspect the Ground – Ensure a stable, level surface free from debris.
      2. Set Up Base Jacks – Adjust screw jacks or scaffold base plates to provide a level foundation.
      3. Insert Ringlock Base Collar(Starter) On Base Jack
      4. Align with the Grid Layout– Follow the scaffolding design plan for proper spacing.
      5. Use a spirit level to measure the levelings
      6. Slight adjustment of the base jack to make levelling
      7. Fix the rosettes of the base collar(lowest rings) by ringlock ledgers
      8. Position the First Standards– Insert Ringlock standards inside the base collar
      9. Fix more ringlock ledgers and braces on standards
      10. Stacking more standards by the spigot and fixing standards with more ledgers and braces.
      11. Fix Scaffold Planks or Decks – Lay steel or aluminium planks at designated levels.
      12. Secure Toe Boards & Guardrails – Ensure workers’ fall protection.
      13. Inspect All Connections – Ensure ledgers, braces, and joints are correctly locked.

Ringlock Standards Surface Treatment

Ringlock standards are finished in hot-dip galvanisation (HDG). Hot dip galvanising is the best surface treatment for scaffolding. It has the longest lifespan without rusting and withstands both hot and cold weather. The HDG ringlock lifespan will be 10-25 years, depending on the construction environment.

Ring Lock Standards Package

The standards of the ring system are packed by steel stillages, steel cages, timber racks, and wooden crates, which are convenient for loading and unloading from containers and suitable for seaway transportation and export.
