In modern construction projects, the lateral connecting components of the scaffolding system directly determine the stability limit of the entire frame. Whether it is the quick-installation type Kwikstage Ledger, the precisely cast Octagonlock Scaffolding Ledger, or the highly standardized Ringlock Scaffolding Ledger Horizontal, these three horizontal rods provide a solid guarantee for site safety in their respective application scenarios.
As the core component for connecting the vertical rods in the disc-type scaffolding system, the length of the horizontal rods is precisely corresponding to the center distance between the two vertical rods. The standard specifications range from 0.39 meters to 3.07 meters, and non-standard lengths can be customized according to the drawings. It is made by welding OD48mm or OD42mm high-strength steel pipes with the cast connecting heads at both ends, and it tightly engages with the flower plate on the vertical rods through the locking pins. Although the horizontal rods are not the main longitudinal load-bearing components, without them, the entire disc system would be unable to form a complete spatial geometric structure - it is the existence of the horizontal rods that integrates the scattered vertical rods into a stable triangular force-bearing unit, significantly enhancing the resistance to deformation.
Depending on different engineering budgets and load-bearing conditions, the manufacturing process of the connection head can be chosen between precision wax mold casting or sand mold casting with a more cost-effective option. The single casting weight ranges from 0.34kg to 0.5kg, enabling flexible and adaptable solutions for various scenarios ranging from bridge supports to stage lighting frames.
