Ring Lock Scaffold – Horizontal Ledgers

Ring Lock Scaffold – Horizontal Ledgers

The Ring Lock Scaffold – Horizontal Ledgers provide the primary horizontal structure for a Ring Lock Scaffolding system. These ledgers connect the vertical standards at consistent heights. Therefore, they establish the framework for the entire tower structure and effectively transfer vertical loads. While not designed to directly support a work platform, ledgers are crucial for securing transoms and defining stable bay widths. The components feature durable construction and robust end connections for fast, secure attachment to the standard rosettes.

Double ledgers are typically used to create the specific support needed directly beneath the work platform boards. This configuration ensures the planks have adequate bearing support across the span. Furthermore, using a galvanized Ring Lock horizontal ledger resists rust and corrosion, extending the life of the entire system even when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. The high-strength steel ensures the Ring Lock horizontal ledger maintains structural integrity under the heaviest design loads. Consequently, contractors rely on these components to provide the necessary rigidity and framework for safe, OSHA-compliant towers.
