Ringlock Scaffolding is a multi-functional scaffolding system that consists of standard or vertical, ledger, diagonal brace, and components such as base collar, head jack, and base jack, commonly used in the construction industry. It is a modular scaffolding with rosettes on vertical posts and cast steel ledger heads on horizontal parts, featuring stable, safe, and costeffective. Ringlock scaffolding can not only be used as external scaffolding for building construction but also as floor, beam formwork support and mobile scaffolding. It has more functions in the actual application and is a kind of scaffold with high practicability. But in rare cases, improper operations can cause scaffolding to collapse, So what would cause a ringlock scaffolding to collapse?
The main reasons for the collapse of ringlock scaffolding are non-standard erection, inferior materials, and improper operations. In most cases, scaffolding collapses are caused by unstable foundation collapse.
Both construction and safety workers should be responsible for the correct erection and use of the ringlock scaffold. All the raw materials and components should meet the industry standards. The erection method, space, and setting should follow the requirements, and some common mistakes such as overload, unscrewed screws, and loss of components should be avoided.
For ringlock scaffolding systems, there are generally no problems during the erection and use if it is assembled in accordance with the requirements of the construction scheme. Inferior materials and faulty construction are the two main reasons for the accidents. These two problems should be avoided in the process of choosing ringlock scaffolding suppliers and the construction process.
