Q345 structural steel, hot-dip galvanized 80µm. Up to 8 connections per rosette node, 50% faster assembly than traditional systems. EN12810 / EN12811 / BS1139 / AS/NZS 1576 certified.
Ringlock scaffolding (also called rosette scaffold or modular ring system) is the most advanced modular scaffolding system available today. A unique rosette ring — welded to vertical standards at 500 mm intervals — accepts up to 8 connections per node (4 horizontal + 4 diagonal), enabling complex geometric configurations that are impossible with traditional tube-and-coupler scaffolding.
Manufactured by Sino East Steel Group from Q345 structural steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish (80 µm minimum zinc coating), our ringlock system is fully compliant with EN 12810, EN 12811, BS 1139 and AS/NZS 1576. It is dimensionally compatible with all major international systems including Layher Allround, Peri Up, and Altrad.
Typical applications: industrial plants, oil & gas facilities, shipyards, bridge construction, high-rise buildings, power stations, and infrastructure projects requiring Class 3 through Class 6 load ratings (1.5 to 6.0 kN/m²).

The engineering advantages of Sino East ringlock translate directly into lower labor cost, faster project completion, and longer service life on every site.
Wedge-head locking mechanism requires only a hammer strike — no nuts, bolts, clamps or specialized tools. Cut your labor hours in half on every project.
The 8-slot rosette ring (4 horizontal + 4 diagonal) lets you build complex 3D geometries — circular tanks, curved facades, ship hulls — without custom fabrication.
Q345 steel standards provide 40–60 kN safe working load per leg. Class 3 to Class 6 ratings cover everything from inspection work to heavy concrete shoring.
Unlike cuplock (top cup) or tube-and-coupler (nuts/bolts), ringlock has no loose components to lose, misplace, or fall from height. Safer & faster.
Hot-dip galvanized 80µm zinc coating protects against corrosion in coastal, industrial and high-humidity environments for multi-project reuse.
OD 48.3 mm tube, 50 cm rosette spacing, 8-slot geometry — fully interchangeable with Layher, Peri, Altrad, and other major systems worldwide.
From a single 4-leg tower to a full industrial access platform — the Sino East ringlock system scales to your project with the same components, the same connections, and the same certified performance.
Every component is hot-dip galvanized, dimensionally checked, and load-tested in-house. Mix and match to build any configuration.

Ringlock scaffolding is a modular steel access system built around a circular rosette welded to the vertical standard at 500 mm intervals. Ledgers, transoms and braces lock into the rosette with a single hammer blow on the wedge head — no loose couplers, no bolts. The 8-way connection (every 45 degrees) makes ringlock the fastest-erecting and most flexible modular system for industrial, high-rise and complex-geometry projects.
A single ringlock standard (48.3 mm × 3.2 mm, S355) delivers approximately 80 kN ultimate vertical leg capacity — about 33% higher than cuplock at the same tube size. In-service design loads follow EN 12811 duty classes: light-duty bays of 1.5 m × 3.0 m support 2 kN/m², with heavy-duty shoring grids engineered for far higher loads.
Yes. Sino East manufactures ringlock under EN 12810 / EN 12811, EN 1090 EXC2 (CE marking), ISO 3834-2 welding quality and ISO 9001:2015, with in-house and third-party load testing on every batch. View our certificates →
With EN ISO 1461 coating (55+ microns), hot-dip galvanized ringlock lasts 15-25 years inland and 10-15 years in coastal environments. The wedge and rosette stay free-moving and keep their geometry, which is why HDG is the standard choice for rental fleets and long-term projects.
Sino East Steel Group (Tianjin, China) is a CE EN1090 & ISO 3834-2 certified ringlock scaffolding manufacturer with a 65,000 m² factory and 200,000+ tons annual capacity, exporting to 50+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Africa.
