Kwikstage Ledgers – Heavy Duty Steel Support Beams for Scaffolding
The crossbars (Ledger) in the Octagonlock scaffolding system are made of high-strength steel pipes and special top support covers (wax mold or sand mold processes are optional), and are deeply welded by carbon dioxide gas shielded welding. It closely connects the octagonal plate to strengthen the structure, effectively distributes the load, and offers options of different thicknesses from 2.0mm to 2.5mm and multiple lengths to ensure the load-bearing capacity and safety of the entire system.
Size as following
This product supports flexible customization: Customers can select the diameter of the steel pipe (mainly 48.3mm/42mm), wall thickness (2.0/2.3/2.5mm) and length. Key component - top support cover - we offer two types: standard sand mold casting and high-quality wax mold casting. They differ in surface finish, load-bearing capacity, production process and cost, aiming to meet the specific requirements of your different projects and industries.

Advantages
1. Firm connection, stable core: The crossbars and octagonal plates are locked with wedge pins, ensuring a tight and firm connection, which is the key to building a stable scaffolding system. Its scientific design can effectively distribute the load to all parts of the system, significantly enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity and safety.
2. Deep welding and integrated fusion: The crossbar head and the steel pipe are welded at high temperatures by carbon dioxide gas shielded welding to ensure their deep fusion. The weld seam has high strength and guarantees the structural integrity from the root. We adhere to welding techniques that exceed standards, regardless of cost, just for safety.
3. Complete range of specifications and flexible customization: We offer a variety of lengths, pipe diameters (such as 48.3mm/42mm) and wall thicknesses (2.0mm-2.5mm) to choose from, and can customize production according to your project requirements. The crossbar head offers economical sand templates and high-quality wax templates to meet the standards and budget requirements of different industries.
1.Q: What is an Octagonlock scaffold crossbar (Ledger)? What is its main function?
A: The crossbar is the core horizontal connection component of the Octagonlock scaffolding system. It is directly locked onto the octagonal plate of the vertical pole, forming an extremely stable connection, thereby effectively distributing the load of the entire system and significantly enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity and safety of the scaffolding.
2. Q: How are your crossbars manufactured and how do you ensure their quality?
A: The crossbar is made by welding steel pipes and top support covers at high temperatures through carbon dioxide gas shielded welding to ensure that the two are fused into one. We pay particular attention to and strictly control the penetration depth of the weld seam. Although this increases production costs, it fundamentally ensures the firmness of the welded joint and the structural strength of the product.
3. Q: What specifications of crossbars are available for selection?
A: We can customize according to the customer's requirements. The common diameters of steel pipes are 48.3mm and 42mm, and the wall thicknesses are mainly 2.0mm, 2.3mm and 2.5mm. There are also various lengths available. All production details will be confirmed with the customer to meet the specific project requirements.
4. Q: What types of Ledger heads are there? What's the difference?
A: We offer two types of top support covers: the regular sand mold casting model and the high-quality wax mold casting model. The main differences lie in the surface finish, load-bearing capacity, production process and cost. Wax molds have higher precision, smoother surfaces and better mechanical properties, making them suitable for projects with strict requirements.
5. Q: How do I choose the appropriate types of crossbars and top support covers for my project?
A: The choice depends on your specific project requirements, industry standards and budget. Generally, you can make a decision based on the required load class, durability requirements and cost considerations. Our team can recommend the most suitable steel pipe specifications and top support cover types (sand mold or wax mold) for you based on the working conditions of your project.
