TECHNICAL MANUAL
Ringlock Quality Factors & Designation
RINGLOCK QUALITY FACTORS

All of AT-PAC Euro range of Ringlock products are engineered to meet the highest
quality standards based on three simple factors:
MATERIAL We only use the highest quality steel in our products. Our steel is
certified and tested, it conforms to or exceeds industry standards
no matter the location or climate.
FIT AT-PAC products are engineered with versatility and usability in
mind. Our modified product designs increase efficiencies and
productivity, saving your projects time and money.
FINISH Where applicable, our products are finished and protected by hot-
dipped zinc galvanising. This method of finishing maximises the
utilisation and extends the product life.
DESIGNATION OF RINGLOCK
The Designation of Ringlock in accordance with BS EN 12810-1:2003 is:
Scaffold EN 12810 – 4D – SW109/307 – H1 – B – LS

Service Load Class 4 may be extended from Service Load Class 1 to Service Load Class
6 if required although there are restriction on bay length for Service Load Classes 5 and
6. This Technical Manual only considers Service Load Class 1 to Class 4 as the general
loading required of a system scaffold under normal circumstances.
Service Load Class 4: The following combinations of platform width and bay length are
also available:
SW06/73 to SW12/307
Cladding: Maximum permissible heights and tie patterns are given for both unsheeted,
debris netted and sheeted scaffolds.
All designations for Ringlock Scaffold are on the Ringlock System Scaffold Designation
Certificate of Compliance included at the rear of this document.

Design Matrix
DESIGN MATRIX FOR RINGLOCK SYSTEM SCAFFOLD CATEGORIES

Users of Ringlock may find the following Design Matrix useful when assessing whether
full Design or Technical Advice is required. The minimum requirements of information
available to the Company management are split into three main categories and the
following procedural notes and Design Matrix may be used to prepare the Method
Statement and Risk Assessment for your project.
CATEGORY 3—INFORMAL DESIGN

TECHNICAL ADVICE NOT REQUIRED
Refer to the Design Matrix for scaffolds that fall into this category. Scaffolds should
be erected to comply with AT-PAC User Guide and the Work at Height Regulations,
other current legislation, BS EN 12811-1 and where necessary TG20 (Latest Edition).
Requirements for tying the scaffold to the permanent works, and the associated tying
patterns are also included in this Ringlock Technical Manual. Method Statements and
Risk Assessments may be written using all data held here.
CATEGORY 2—ESTIMATOR/SUPERVISOR DESIGNED SCAFFOLD

TECHNICAL ADVICE REQUIRED
If your own Design Department or Consultant is unable to assist, advice may be sought
from AT-PAC UK Engineering team and this may be given verbally or be presented in
the form of engineering solution advice or confirmation. Method Statements and Risk
Assessments may be made using all data held in this Ringlock Technical Manual.
CATEGORY 1—ENGINEERED DESIGNED SCAFFOLD

ENGINEERING DESIGN MANDATORY
This category of scaffold requires your Design Department or Consultant to prepare a
design and/or layout details using the technical information contained in this Technical
Manual. All technical information held in this Guide has been independently tested and
analysed in accordance with BS EN 12810 and BS EN 12811.
We would recommend that a scaffold is not erected to a Preliminary Drawing because
not all of the design may be complete and failure of the structure could arise in these
circumstances. You should seek confirmation from your Design Department
or Consultant.

RINGLOCK
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Stabilising Scaffolds, Tying & Bracing Patterns
METHODS OF STABILISING SCAFFOLDS

Where the height of a scaffold will exceed three times the smallest lateral base
dimension, the scaffold may be stabilised by:
1. Attachment to a building or structure by means of ties; or
2. If the scaffold is not more than three lifts high then raker’s can be introduced in
accordance with TG20 (latest edition).
3. Increasing the base dimension of the scaffold by buttressing with reference to TG20
(latest edition) to consider Height to Least Base dimensions before setting out the
scaffold. Also, if necessary consult your local AT-PAC Engineering Office for advice.
Please refer to the following Tie Patterns and Maximum Permissible Height Tables.
RINGLOCK TYING AND BRACING PATTERNS

The following tying and bracing patterns cover 2.0m and 3.0m lift heights with 2
typical bracing patterns. The maximum height of the scaffold is dependent on the
BS EN 12811-1 Load Class rating used. Other factors such as the S Factor, cantilever
requirement and Debris Netting/ Clad requirements.
For example: A 2.0m lift using tie pattern B, Load Class 1, no inside cantilever platforms
or cladding the scaffold can be erected up to 80m with an S-Factor of 20.
Note 1: Transoms and Ledgers must be placed in the lowest possible rosette
irrespective of lowest platform position.
Note 2: Completed scaffolds must always be tied at the top lift.
Note 3: Up to two levels of cantilever platforms may be moved to intermediate
levels at any one time to provide appropriate access.
