Australian Type Ledger Factory
An Australian Type Kwikstage Ledger is a horizontal component of the Kwikstage modular scaffolding system, widely used in Australia for various construction, maintenance, and access applications. It is designed for easy and quick assembly, contributing to the efficiency and safety of scaffolding structures.
AJ Scaffolding is a leading supplier of scaffolding and formwork, exporting to over 160 countries. We offer a comprehensive range of scaffolding, formwork, and accessories, including custom solutions. Contact us for a free quote.
Materials and Construction
- Typically made of high-quality carbon steel, with Q235 or Q345 available.
- The outer diameter of the main pipe is typically 48 mm.
- The most common wall thickness is 3.25 mm, with 2.75 mm and 3.0 mm thicknesses also available.
- At each end, the australian type ledgers feature two sets of "thumbs" and "wedges" (also called wedge pins) that connect to the V-clips welded onto the Kwikstage standards (vertical posts). This interlocking design provides a rigid and secure connection.
Sizes and Lengths
Australian Type Kwikstage Ledgers come in a range of standard lengths to accommodate different bay sizes in a scaffold structure. Common lengths include:
- 1460mm
- 1960mm
- 2460mm
Surface Treatment
To prevent corrosion and extend service life, we offer the following surface treatments:
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG)
- Powder Coating
- Painting
Compliance and Standards
Australian Type Kwikstage Ledgers are manufactured and tested to comply with strict Australian and international scaffolding standards to ensure safety and performance. These typically include:
- AS/NZS 1576 (Australian/New Zealand Standards for Scaffolding)
- BS 1139 (British Standard for Scaffolding)
- EN74-1:2005 Class B (European Standard for Couplers, Clamps, and Baseplates for use in Temporary Works Equipment)
- EN12810/EN12811 (European Standards for Scaffolds)
- WorkSafe certification is also common in Australia.
Function in Scaffolding
Our Kwikstage Diagonal Braces are indispensable for a wide range of scaffolding applications, including:
☆ Horizontal Support: Ledgers form the horizontal members of the scaffold bays, connecting the vertical standards.
☆ Guardrails: They often serve as guardrails to provide fall protection for workers on the platforms.
☆ Support for Transoms and Planks: Ledgers support transoms (which run perpendicular to ledgers) and scaffolding planks, creating the working platforms.
