Ringlock Scaffolding Ledger & Diagonal Brace
The Octagonlock Scaffolding Diagonal Brace is an essential stability component for complex construction projects like bridges, railways, oil & gas, and tank construction. It connects the standard and ledger to form a stable triangular structure—similar to the Layher cross brace—ensuring the whole scaffolding system can bear heavy loads.
Manufactured from steel pipe with a diagonal brace head and wedge pin, our brace is designed for quick and convenient assembly across multi-level scaffolding. Based on your specific requirements, we provide professional customization and strict quality control.
Specification Details
For standard diagonal braces, we adopt 33.5mm OD steel tube with 0.38kg coupling head, finished with hot-dip galvanization. This configuration effectively reduces material costs while delivering robust load-bearing capacity for the scaffolding system. Custom production based on client’s drawings or specifications is fully supported.

Advantages
1.Triangular Stability for Heavy Loads
The diagonal brace connects the standard and ledger to form a stable triangular structure across the scaffolding system, significantly enhancing overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity—ideal for heavy-duty projects like bridges, railways, oil & gas, and tanks.
2.Quick & Easy Assembly
Designed specifically for the Octagonlock system, the diagonal brace enables fast, tool-free installation using a wedge pin connection. This reduces labor time and simplifies on-site construction compared to traditional pipe-and-coupler methods.
3.Cost-Effective with High Performance
Made from 33.5mm diameter steel pipe and 0.38kg head, with hot-dip galvanized surface treatment as standard. This combination provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength while keeping production costs lower than fully forged alternatives.
4.Full Customization Available
We can produce diagonal braces according to customer-specific requirements and drawings – including different pipe diameters, head designs, surface treatments (e.g., painted, self-color), and sizes. Your project, your specification.
5.High Production Capacity – 10,000 Tons/Year
With an annual output of 10,000 tons, we ensure stable supply for large-scale or long-term projects. On-time delivery is guaranteed.
6.Proven Replaceability & Flexibility
While the diagonal brace is the standard choice for Octagonlock systems, it can also be replaced by pipe and coupler if needed. This flexibility allows contractors to adapt to different site conditions or budget constraints without changing the main scaffolding system.

Components Feature
As a key component of the Octagonlock system, the Diagonal Brace links each standard to its corresponding ledger. This connection creates a rigid triangular configuration throughout the scaffold, effectively locking the frame against sway and distributing heavy loads. Functionally, it operates like a scissor brace — similar to the Layher cross brace — ensuring the structure remains square and stable. These braces are installed level by level across the entire scaffolding height. For projects where diagonal braces are not used, some contractors substitute them with traditional pipe and coupler assemblies.
