Ringlock Ledgers
The ringlock ledger, also called horizontal tube, transom, or ledger beam, is the primary horizontal member connecting two vertical standards in a ringlock scaffolding system. Its ends feature drop-forged steel wedge heads that engage into the rosette slots and are secured by hammering the captive wedge pin. Our ringlock ledgers are produced from Q235B / S235JR structural steel tube with precision-cut lengths and fully automated CO2-welded wedge head assemblies for consistent quality and strength.
As a professional ringlock ledger manufacturer and supplier based in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, LuckyScaffolding produces ledgers in standard lengths from 0.65 meters to 3.05 meters, with custom lengths available for specialized bay configurations. All ledgers are hot dip galvanized inside and out to ISO 1461 standard with minimum 80 micrometers zinc coating, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor and marine construction applications.
Ringlock ledgers serve as the primary support for steel planks, creating safe working platforms at various heights. They also provide lateral stability to the scaffold structure when combined with diagonal braces. Our ledgers are compatible with all major ringlock systems including Layher Allround, MJ, and similar rosette-based scaffold systems.
We supply ringlock ledgers to scaffold rental companies, construction contractors, equipment distributors, and industrial maintenance firms worldwide. Factory direct pricing and bulk discounts are available for large orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load capacity of your ringlock ledgers?
Our Q235 ledgers with 2.0m span support approximately 3.5 kN/m² uniformly distributed load under EN 12810 Class 6 conditions. Q355 ledgers offer approximately 20% higher capacity. Exact load values depend on the ledger grade, span, and bracing configuration. We provide detailed load tables upon request.
Can I get ringlock ledgers with powder coating instead of galvanizing?
Yes, powder coating in standard RAL colors is available for indoor applications and projects requiring color-coded scaffold systems. However, for outdoor construction use, we strongly recommend hot dip galvanizing due to its superior durability and 20+ year corrosion protection.
What is the minimum order quantity for ringlock ledgers?
There is no strict MOQ, but we recommend ordering in bundles of 50 or 100 pieces per length for efficient packing and handling. Mixed-length bundles are also possible. For the best freight rates, a full container load is recommended.
Are your ledgers compatible with Layher Allround and other ringlock systems?
Yes, our ledgers are designed to be compatible with all major rosette-based ringlock systems including Layher Allround, Peri Up, MJ, and similar systems using 48.3mm tube and standard rosette geometry. We can also produce custom wedge heads for proprietary systems.
What is the difference between Q235 and Q355 ledgers?
Q355 ledgers have a higher yield strength (355 MPa vs 235 MPa), allowing them to support heavier loads or span greater distances. For standard access scaffolding, Q235 is usually sufficient. For heavy-duty shoring or wide-span platforms, Q355 is recommended.
Can you produce custom-length ledgers for my project?
Yes, we can produce ledgers in any length from 0.3m to 4.0m. Custom lengths are useful for projects with non-standard bay sizes or curved facade requirements. Please provide your exact length requirements for quotation.
How are ledgers packed for shipping?
Ledgers are bundled in groups of 50 pieces per length, secured with steel strapping. They are loaded into containers either loose or on pallets, depending on customer preference and port handling requirements.
