What’s The Difference Between Ringlock (K-Ring) & Cuplock?

Ringlock scaffolding is relatively new type of scaffolding system, designed with prefabricated components, each manufactured to be installed in a specific location.

Ringlock (K-Ring), like Cuplock (K-Lock) is a modular type of scaffolding designed with speed of installation and ease of adaptation at the forefront.

What Is Ringlock Scaffolding? (K-Ring)
Ringlock is becoming the popular system of choice mainly due to its unique ability to cater for complex geometries, providing far more flexibility than cuplock or kwikstage scaffolds.
K-Ring our non-branded equivalent of Ringlock is extremely versatile. It can be erected for straight, curved or circular configuration for both access and support, and also for independent mobile towers.
There are no loose components on the Ringlock System that can be lost or require maintenance. All components are hot dipped galvanized with a minimum zinc coating of 85 microns.

Ringlock is a low-maintenance type of scaffold, being a fully galvanized system repair and refurbishment is far less than is required with painted systems such as Kwikstage. Ringlock also has the ability to be quickly and easily adapted, as and when required.
Ringlock scaffolding system is engineered with a unique rosette-type central connecting point that provides the ability to achieve angles in installation other types of system scaffolds cannot.
Components are quickly attached to the rosette central point. Which features a 4-way design, with up to 8 various angles possible.
This type of design is what provides Ringlock with more flexibility than its preceding system – cuplock.
Due to this unique rosette-type central connecting point, Ringlock can easily and quickly be installed on complicated building geometries, with no need for time consuming tube and fitting scaffolds.
Ringlock K-Ring supplied by NORD TECHNOLOGY conforms to BS1139 Part 5, HD1000, OSHA and Australian New Zealand Standards.

Cuplock is also a robust system, chosen over Kwikstage by many contractors and companies due to being low-maintenance and considered more robust than Kwikstage.
K-Lock supplied and available from Brisko Metal Resources conforms to BS1139 Part 5, HD1000, OSHA and Australian New Zealand Standards.
