Erection Guidelines—Step 3

SCAFFOLDING ERECTION GUIDELINES STEP 3

1. When the base lift is
completed, the first Ringlock
Standards can be positioned
into the Base Collars. The
bottom of the Standards fit
into the socket tube at the top
of the Base Collar.

2. The Spigot on the Standards
always point upwards.

3. It is recommended that the
joints in inner and outer
Standards of the scaffold be
at different levels. Start with a
longer vertical on the outside.
This will stagger the joints in
the verticals which and will
also aid in its stability if the
scaffold is above eight metres
high. It will also provide the connections for the first level of Guardrails on the
outside of the scaffold.
SCAFFOLDING NOTE:

It is not imperative that the joints in Ringlock Standards are staggered when the full
height of the scaffold is less than eight metres high i.e. four lifts. In this case the inner
and outer Standard can be the same length although this will not necessarily provide the
appropriate stagger in the Standards to provide the connections for the guardrails when
the scaffold reaches full height.
However to ensure that the scaffold attains its maximum permissible height at all
times it is recommended that the Standard are staggered when at all possible. Any
scaffold above four lifts should have the joints in all the Standards staggered such that
the scaffold is more stable for it to achieve the maximum permissible height (refer to
Technical Manual).
