Ringlock Scaffolding Double Ledger

Engineered to international standards for safety, speed and durability on every job site.

Overview

The Ringlock Scaffolding Double Ledger — sometimes called a double-ring ledger, twin-tube ledger or reinforced ledger — is a horizontal member built from two parallel Ø48.3 mm tubes welded into one rigid assembly, giving a ringlock bay roughly twice the deck and load capacity of a single ledger. It spans between two standards and carries steel planks, transoms and side brackets across wide bays where a single-tube ledger would deflect or overload.

Ringlock Scaffolding Double Ledger - Reinforced Twin-Tube Horizontal Member

Key Features

  • Reinforced ledger — two parallel tubes for double load capacity
  • Halves mid-bay deflection vs a single ledger
  • Ø48.3×3.2 mm high-strength steel tube (Q345/S355)
  • Forged ledger head with captive wedge — locks into 8-way rosette
  • For wide bays, heavy façade & cantilevered loads
  • Hot-dip galvanized, EN 12810 / AS-NZS 1576 / OSHA

On site, a double ledger is the fix when the bay has to carry heavy façade loads, wide plank decks or cantilevered platforms that a standard single ledger cannot. The two tubes share the span, halving deflection and roughly doubling the load a single ledger could take, so crews can build larger open bays without adding more standards. Each end keeps the same forged ledger head with a captive wedge that drops into the rosette's small holes and locks the bay rigidly under load — exactly like a standard ledger — so a double ledger drops straight into any ringlock grid. Double ledgers are rolled from Ø48.3×3.2 mm Q345/S355 high-strength steel, hot-dip galvanized for coastal, offshore and long-life site use, built to EN 12810 / EN 12811, ANSI and AS/NZS 1576 with a 4:1 safety factor, and supplied under ISO 9001 quality from ACE SCAFFOLD, FOB Shanghai.

The double ledger carries the heavy bays. Where a single tube would sag or overload, two parallel tubes share the load and keep the deck flat and safe.

Two Tubes, Double Capacity

The double ledger welds two Ø48.3 mm tubes into one rigid member. They share the span, so mid-bay deflection is roughly halved and the supported load is about twice that of a single ledger — ideal for wide decks, heavy cladding loads and cantilevered brackets.

Same Rosette, Same Wedge

Each end keeps the standard forged ledger head with its captive wedge, locking into the rosette's small holes exactly like a normal ledger. No new fittings, no new training — it simply replaces a single ledger where the load demands it.

Steel & Finish

Double ledgers are rolled from Ø48.3×3.2 mm Q345/S355 high-strength steel and hot-dip galvanized for site, coastal and offshore service. Welds follow AWS D1.1 for clean, flat joints that seat planks and brackets squarely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q
What is a ringlock scaffolding double ledger?
A ringlock scaffolding double ledger — also called a double-ring ledger, twin-tube ledger or reinforced ledger — is a horizontal member made from two parallel Ø48.3 mm tubes welded into one rigid assembly. It gives a ringlock bay roughly twice the deck and load capacity of a single ledger, so it carries wide decks, heavy façade loads and cantilevered brackets that a single-tube ledger could not.
Q
How much more load can a double ledger carry than a single ledger?
Because the two tubes share the span, a double ledger roughly doubles the supported load and about halves mid-bay deflection compared with a single ledger of the same length. It is the right choice when the bay carries heavy cladding, wide plank decks or cantilevered platforms.
Q
What sizes do ringlock double ledgers come in?
Standard double ledger lengths are 1.57 m (5' 1-7/8", RSDL52), 1.83 m (6', RSDL60), 2.07 m (6'9", RSDL69), 2.13 m (7', RSDL70), 2.44 m (8', RSDL80), 2.57 m (8'6", RSDL86) and 3.05 m (10', RSDL100). Custom lengths are available on request.
Q
What material and finish are ringlock double ledgers made of?
They are rolled from Ø48.3×3.2 mm Q345/S355 high-strength steel tube and hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance on site, coastal and offshore projects. Welds follow AWS D1.1 for clean, flat joints.
Q
How does a double ledger connect to the scaffold?
Exactly like a standard ledger: each end carries a forged ledger head with a captive wedge that drops into the standard's rosette (the four small holes) and is driven home with a hammer, locking the joint rigidly under load.
Q
When should I use a double ledger instead of a standard ledger?
Use a double ledger whenever the bay load exceeds what a single ledger can carry safely — heavy façade work, wide open decks, cantilevered platforms or long spans between standards. In a normal bay a single ledger is enough; the double ledger is the reinforced option for the heavy bays.
