Ringlock Scaffolding Ledger | Horizontal
Ringlock scaffolding is a type of modular scaffolding material prefabricated with ring locks on vertical parts and cast steel ledger heads & brace heads on horizontals and diagonal parts.
Ringlock ledgers, integral to the stability of modular scaffolding systems, are commonly referred to by several names based on their structural roles and regional preferences. Known alternatively as horizontals, runners, or guardrails, these components serve to connect vertical standards (uprights) and enhance the rigidity and safety of the scaffold structure.

What is Ringlock Scaffolding Ledger | Horizontal？
Ringlock system is a group of ringlock scaffolding parts and components, including ringlock standards, ledgers, braces, decks, etc, used to form scaffold frames and towers for construction and shoring.
Ringlock ledgers are indispensable horizontal components in the Ringlock scaffolding system, widely recognized for their structural support and versatility. These ledgers come in various forms, primarily differentiated as O-type and U-type, each designed to meet specific scaffolding needs. Here’s a detailed introduction to Ringlock ledgers, including their types and particularities:
Types of Ringlock Ledgers
1. O-Type Ledgers
O-type ledgers are the most commonly used form in the Ringlock scaffolding system. These ledgers are equipped with two cast steel ends, each featuring a slot for inserting Ringlock wedge pins. The wedge pins, crafted from high-strength steel plates, are secured within the slots of the ledger ends by rivets, facilitating a firm and safe connection to the Ringlock standards. The universal design of O-type ledgers makes them indispensable for virtually all configurations of the Ringlock system, providing horizontal support and facilitating the construction of working platforms, access walkways, and safety barriers.
2. U-Type Ledgers
U-type ledgers are specifically required in European-type allround scaffolding systems, which are designed to offer enhanced flexibility and comprehensive coverage around the structure being scaffolded. Similar to the O-type, U-type ledgers also feature cast steel ends for connections but are tailored to fit the unique requirements of European standards, often used to support decking and heavier loads with their U-shaped design.
Functional Significance and Applications
Both O-type and U-type ledgers play critical roles in the assembly and safety of scaffolding systems. The choice between these types depends on the scaffolding system’s design requirements and the regulatory standards prevalent in the project’s geographical area. O-type ledgers are preferred for their versatility across various scaffold setups, while U-type ledgers are indispensable in systems requiring adherence to European safety and design norms.
Conclusion
Understanding the differences between O-type and U-type Ringlock ledgers is crucial for selecting the appropriate scaffolding components that meet both the structural demands and safety regulations of any construction project. Whether you are setting up a simple access scaffold or a complex structure around irregular architectures, choosing the right type of Ringlock ledger can significantly impact the efficacy and safety of your construction efforts
