The Kwikstage Ledger is a primary horizontal scaffolding component that connects uprights to form the framework for working platforms. Manufactured from 48.3mm OD galvanized steel tube (3.2mm wall thickness), this ledger features precision-welded end fittings that engage with Kwikstage couplers and brackets, ensuring secure and rigid connections. Available in standard lengths from 1.2m to 3.6m, the ledger is designed for heavy-duty load transfer between uprights, forming the basis of stable scaffolding layers.
Structural Rigidity: The circular hollow section design provides a moment of inertia of 12.7 cm⁴, minimizing deflection under load (max 5mm at midspan for 3m length).
Galvanized Protection: Full hot-dip galvanization (85μm coating) ensures resistance to rust and abrasion, suitable for long-term outdoor exposure.
End Fitting Precision: Engineered with 2mm tolerance on coupler engagement points, enabling seamless connection without forced alignment.
Load Classification: Rated for 5kN/m uniformly distributed load, compliant with EN 1090-1 execution class EXC2.
Fundamental to all Kwikstage scaffolding systems, the Ledger is used in:
1. High-rise building scaffolding, forming horizontal tiers for worker access
2. Industrial plant scaffolding, supporting walkways between equipment levels
3. Bridge formwork scaffolding, providing stable bases for concrete placement
4. Temporary roof structures, connecting vertical supports for overhead coverage.
Q: Can ledgers be cut to custom lengths?
A: Yes, but only by the manufacturer to ensure end fitting integrity. Field cutting voids the warranty.
Q: What is the recommended spacing between uprights for a 3m ledger?
A: Maximum 1.8m center-to-center for uniform load distribution.
Q: How to inspect for ledger damage?
A: Check for dents >5% of tube diameter, weld cracks, or coupler fitting looseness. Replace damaged ledgers immediately.
Q: Is the galvanized finish compatible with fire-retardant treatments?
A: Yes, no chemical reaction occurs. Apply treatments after galvanization for best results.
