Custom Ringlock Access Ramp System for Australia Temporary Event Structure

Project Overview

Temporary events often require customized access solutions to connect different levels, provide safe pedestrian movement, and integrate with existing venues.

For this Australian project, Dragon Stage designed and manufactured a customized Ringlock access ramp system that combines modular structural support, walking surface, handrails, and staircase access.

Unlike standard prefabricated ramps, this project required a fully customized solution based on:

  • Site conditions

  • Entrance layout

  • Required ramp length

  • Safety requirements

  • Event environment

The completed structure provided a stable and professional access route for a temporary event venue.

This project demonstrates how Ringlock systems can be applied beyond traditional staging applications and become flexible solutions for temporary architectural structures.

Design Challenge

Creating a Safe Access Route for Temporary Events

Temporary event structures often face challenges that permanent buildings do not have.

The structure must be:

  • Strong enough for public use

  • Easy to install and dismantle

  • Adaptable to different site conditions

  • Transport efficient

  • Visually suitable for premium events

For this project, the customer required a ramp system that could connect the event entrance while maintaining a clean appearance.

The solution was not a simple inclined platform, but a complete modular structural system.

Ringlock Structure Design Solution

The main supporting framework uses a modular Ringlock system.

The structure includes:

  • Vertical standards

  • Horizontal ledgers

  • Diagonal braces

  • Adjustable supports

  • Deck supporting members

  • Handrail connections

The Ringlock connection method allows components to create a rigid structural frame while maintaining flexibility during installation.

Compared with welded fixed structures, Ringlock provides:

  • Faster assembly

  • Easier transportation

  • Better adaptability

  • Reusable components

Customized Ramp Configuration

14m Long Access Ramp

The main ramp section was designed according to the customer's site requirements.

The long modular ramp provides:

  • Smooth pedestrian access

  • Stable walking surface

  • Integrated safety protection

Because temporary event sites often have different elevation conditions, modular Ringlock structures provide an efficient method to create customized access solutions.

Integrated Connection Platform

A 4m × 1m connection platform was incorporated into the design.

This section works as:

  • Transition area

  • Access connection point

  • Structural adjustment zone

The modular design allows different sections to connect accurately during installation.

Staircase Access

One end of the structure includes a five-step staircase.

The combination of:

  • Ramp access

  • Stair access

allows the structure to serve different users and improves overall usability.

Safety Features

Full Handrail Protection

Both sides of the ramp are equipped with black handrails.

The handrail system provides:

  • Passenger protection

  • Clear boundary definition

  • Improved visual appearance

For temporary public access structures, safety accessories are an important part of the complete engineering solution.

Factory Trial Assembly Before Shipment

Before delivery, Dragon Stage completed a factory trial assembly.

The process verified:

  • Ringlock connection accuracy

  • Ramp alignment

  • Stair connection

  • Handrail installation

  • Overall dimensions

For customized modular structures, trial assembly reduces installation risks at the customer's site.

Installation Principle

Modular Structure, On-Site Assembly

One of the advantages of Ringlock systems is that the structure can be transported as individual components and assembled according to the final site conditions.

How to Build a Temporary Event Access Ramp Using Ringlock Structure

The general installation sequence includes:

Step 1: Position the Base Layout

The installation team first confirms:

  • Ramp direction

  • Connection points

  • Overall position

Step 2: Assemble Ringlock Supporting Frame

Vertical standards and horizontal ledgers are installed to create the basic structure.

Step 3: Add Bracing Components

Diagonal braces improve overall stability.

Step 4: Install Deck Surface

Walking panels are installed to create the final ramp surface.

Step 5: Install Handrails and Accessories

Safety components are completed before use.

Why Use Ringlock for Temporary Access Structures?

Flexible Configuration

Ringlock can be adapted to:

  • Different heights

  • Different lengths

  • Different layouts

Strong Structural Performance

The connection system creates a stable temporary framework.

Reusable Components

After the event, components can be dismantled and reused.

Efficient Transportation

Individual modular components reduce transportation difficulty.
