What is the Difference Between Ringlock Scaffolding and Frame Scaffolding?
Ringlock scaffolding system and frame scaffolding system are two mian types of scaffolding system used in engineering construction industry. Both scaffolding systems are widely popular around the world. While ringlock scaffolding system has something different against frame scaffolding system. So do you know the differences between frame scaffolding and ringlock scaffolding? Today, let us have a discussion on it.
Apparently, there are serveral differences between them:
Ringlock Scaffolding | Frame Scaffolding | |
Horizontal Spacing | Max to 250 cm | Max to 300 cm |
Horizontal Pipe Diameters | Ø48 mm | Ø34 mm |
Diagonal Pipe Diameters | Ø48 mm | Ø42 mm |
Vertical Base System | Frame Form | Pipe Jack Base Form |
Connection Type | Pin Lock System | Ringlock System |
Verticals Rise | 300 cm | 200 cm |
Pipe Ends Drill | Welded by Crushing | Welded with Dovetails |
Advantages of Frame Scaffolding
Since the system consists of welded frames, it can be assembled faster. Horizontal and diagonal pipes are lighter and more practical. There is no need to use a hammer in assembly. 250 cm long walking platforms are lighter. It is a more cost-effective system.
Advantages of Ringlock Scaffolding;
It is lighter and more practical because its vertical pipes are not welded. Vertical and horizontal pipes do not take up much volume during transport. Since it is not in the form of a frame in case of being thrown from a height to the ground, there is no mould distortion. More robust horizontal and cross pipes are used. Since 300cm long walking platforms are used, longer facades can be closed at once.
