This is a 10m-high temporary Ringlock sound-support structure developed for suspending a concert line-array speaker system.
Its most distinctive feature is not simply the tower height.
The complete structure consists of:
Main Ringlock Scaffold Structure
Projecting Suspended Scaffold Part
Aluminum Truss Interface
Motorized Lifting System
Line Array
The original DragonTruss product describes the system as approximately 2m wide × 4m deep × 10m high. Its BOQ separately lists the main Ringlock structure and the “suspending Layer truss”, confirming that the projecting suspension section was treated as a distinct component group rather than disappearing into the general scaffold quantity.
For DragonStructure, its primary category is:
Sound Support Structure
https://www.dragonstructure.com/Sound-Support-Structure-pl08155276.html
The Dragon Internal Link Library specifically identifies this page for sound-support structures, PA towers, line-array support and Ringlock sound towers.

Dragon Stage
This structure should not simply be understood as:
a 10m Ringlock speaker tower.
The complete geometry is more specific.
There is a large vertical Ringlock scaffold body forming the main structure.
From this main body, an additional Ringlock scaffold section projects outward in the line-array position.
In our normal project and quotation language, we call this projecting section the:
suspended part
For clearer technical English, it can also be described as a:
projecting suspended scaffold section
So the structure can be understood as:
Main Ringlock Scaffold Structure
→ Suspended Scaffold Part
→ Aluminum Truss / Lifting Interface
→ Line Array
The suspended part is therefore an integral functional module of the complete structure.
It is not a second independent speaker tower.
If this product were described only as a 10m Ringlock tower, one of its most recognizable structural characteristics would disappear.
The line-array suspension position is created by a Ringlock section that extends away from the main scaffold body.
That additional section is specifically configured around the suspended equipment position.
In practical project language:
main structure
suspended part
=
complete line-array support structure
This is more accurate than calling the projecting section a “side hanging frame.”
“Side” only described the angle from which the original site structure was observed. It is not a structural classification.
The source product identifies the overall system as approximately:
Width: 2m
Depth: 4m
Height: 10m
Primary System: Steel Ringlock
Primary Function: Line-array suspension / sound support
Packing Weight: approximately 950kg
Packing Volume: approximately 2CBM
The complete structure can be divided into three main functional zones:
Structural Zone | Main Function |
|---|---|
Main Ringlock Scaffold Structure | Creates the primary vertical structural body |
Suspended Scaffold Part | Extends the Ringlock structure into the speaker-suspension position |
Truss & Lifting Interface | Integrates the motor, sling, aluminum truss and line-array equipment |
This three-part relationship is the central structural logic of the product.
The main scaffold body forms the large vertical part of the system.
Its confirmed BOQ includes:
51 × Horizontal Pipe LR2, L: 2m
44 × Diagonal Pipe LR3, L: 2.44m
30 × Pillar LR1, L: 2m
6 × Adjustable Base LR4, H: 0.25m
4 × Steel Braces, L: 2m, H: 0.5m
The main Ringlock geometry is therefore built from repeated:
Standards
Horizontal Ledgers
Diagonal Bracing
Ground Support Positions
The use of 2m vertical and horizontal Ringlock modules creates a modular structure that can be built vertically to the required overall configuration.
The original BOQ separately identifies another structural group as:
“suspending Layer truss.”
Rather than replacing the user's real terminology with a newly invented name, DragonStructure should describe this as:
Suspended Scaffold Part
or, when a more formal explanation is useful:
Suspended Ringlock Scaffold Section
The confirmed components are:
4 × Horizontal Pipe LR2, L: 2m
8 × Diagonal Pipe LR3, L: 2.44m
2 × Pillar LR1, L: 2m
This is a comparatively small component group relative to the main scaffold structure, but functionally it is extremely important.
It creates the projecting Ringlock structural zone associated with the line-array suspension position.
The BOQ gives us a particularly useful way to understand the structure.
Main Ringlock Structure | Suspended Scaffold Part |
|---|---|
51 × 2m horizontals | 4 × 2m horizontals |
44 × 2.44m diagonals | 8 × 2.44m diagonals |
30 × 2m standards | 2 × 2m standards |
6 adjustable bases | Integrated with main structure |
4 additional steel braces | Dedicated projecting suspension geometry |
This means the complete product was not treated as one undifferentiated Ringlock tower.
The suspension part was deliberately separated as its own structural component group.
That is exactly the type of relationship DragonStructure should explain.
Conceptually:

GROUND The important point is that the suspended part does not begin as an isolated structure from the ground.
It forms part of the complete Ringlock arrangement and projects from the main structural body into the equipment-support area.
For this reason, I would avoid describing it as:
a separate speaker tower;
an independent hanging tower;
a side tower.
The more accurate wording is:
a projecting suspended Ringlock scaffold part integrated with the main structure.
A conventional line-array tower is often read vertically:
ground
↓
tower
↓
top support
↓
speaker
This structure introduces another geometric relationship:
main scaffold
→ projecting suspended part
→ speaker suspension zone
So the dominant distinction is not only vertical height.
It is also the projecting structural relationship between the main scaffold body and the suspended part.
That makes this structure different from the other Ringlock sound towers that are primarily defined by:
main-tower height;
widened bases;
auxiliary towers;
buttress structures.
Here, the key structural feature is the suspended scaffold part.
The main BOQ contains:
6 × Adjustable Base LR4, H: 0.25m.
This shows that the ground configuration is not simply a conventional four-base square tower.
These six adjustable bases form the ground interface of the supplied Ringlock configuration.
However, they should not be interpreted as establishing:
foundation design;
allowable ground pressure;
ballast requirement;
anchoring requirement;
allowable leveling range under the completed load.
Those remain project-specific verification questions.
The main structure contains:
44 × 2.44m Ringlock diagonal pipes
while the suspended part adds another:
8 × 2.44m diagonal pipes.
Together, the confirmed structure therefore contains:
52 Ringlock diagonal members
across the two component groups.
This total is only simple BOQ arithmetic.
It is not an engineering conclusion.
At structural-breakdown level, the practical relationship is:
Standards + Ledgers
→ rectangular Ringlock bays
then:
Diagonal Braces
→ braced Ringlock bays
Both the main scaffold structure and the suspended part use this modular logic.
The main BOQ also includes:
4 × Steel Braces, L: 2m, H: 0.5m.
These are listed separately from the standard LR3 diagonal pipes.
Therefore they should remain a separate component group.
DragonStructure should not merge all diagonal-looking members into one generic “brace” quantity.
This distinction keeps the page faithful to the original quotation/BOQ.
The complete package also includes:
1 × CS40 square aluminum truss
with confirmed dimensions:
389 × 389 × 2500mm.
This means the complete structure combines two material/system families:
Steel Ringlock
Aluminum Square Truss
The structure is therefore technically a Ringlock + aluminum integration.
However, its primary category should remain:
Sound Support Structure
because the complete structure is designed around line-array suspension.
For readers researching mixed Ringlock/aluminum structures:
https://www.dragonstructure.com/Ringlock-Aluminum-Structure-pl03055276.html
The Dragon Internal Link Library recommends this category when aluminum truss is integrated with Ringlock in project-specific hybrid configurations.
The BOQ includes one motor with the following source specifications:
Chinese brand
Source motor load rating: 2000kg
Chain length: 25m
Lifting speed: 3.2m/min
220V, 3-phase
Output: 750W
Insulation Class F
Quantity: 1 pc
There is also:
1 × flight case for motor
with one motor packed in one case.
This confirms that the structure was configured as a suspension/lifting system, rather than simply a fixed speaker-support position.
This distinction must be kept explicit.
The BOQ gives a 2000kg rating for the motor.
That fact belongs to the motor specification.
It does not establish:
The complete Ringlock structure can safely suspend 2000kg.
The complete allowable suspended equipment weight depends on the entire project-specific structure and interfaces, not only on the motor.
Therefore:
Motor source rating = 2000kg
Complete structure allowable suspended load = 2000kg
The latter would require appropriate engineering verification.
This distinction follows DragonStructure's mandatory rule that component information or practical experience must not be turned into unsupported engineering conclusions.
The BOQ contains:
1 × Fibre Sling, T4.
The source does not provide enough verified information here to reinterpret “T4” as a specific certified working-load statement for the completed structure.
Therefore, the designation should simply remain as supplied.
The practical equipment relationship can be shown as:
Ringlock Main Structure
↓
Suspended Scaffold Part
↓
CS40 Aluminum Truss
↓
Motor + Fibre Sling
↓
Line Array
This is a functional configuration explanation, not a calculated load path.
The confirmed BOQ contains:
4 × Double Clamps.
These clamps belong to the truss/interface connection system.
Their presence reinforces the fact that the aluminum truss is integrated into the sound-support arrangement rather than simply supplied as an unrelated accessory.
The exact orientation and connection method should follow the final drawing/configuration.
This structure is easiest to understand when divided into three functional zones.
The primary vertical body contains:
30 standards;
51 horizontals;
44 diagonals;
6 adjustable bases;
4 additional steel braces.
The projecting Ringlock suspension module contains:
2 standards;
4 horizontals;
8 diagonals.
The supplied integration includes:
CS40 aluminum square truss;
motor;
motor flight case;
fibre sling;
double clamps.
The complete structure is therefore:
Main Structural Body
Suspended Structural Part
Lifting / Equipment Interface
That is the most useful way to understand the product.

The BOQ is especially useful because it confirms that this is not one uniform Ringlock frame.
The structure contains two clearly separated Ringlock groups.
30 standards + 51 horizontals + 44 diagonals
2 standards + 4 horizontals + 8 diagonals
If the confirmed groups are combined for simple inventory understanding, the complete Ringlock package contains:
32 × 2m standards
55 × 2m horizontal pipes
52 × 2.44m diagonal pipes
These are arithmetic totals only.
They are not structural calculations.
More importantly, the BOQ tells us that the suspended part was deliberately treated as a functional module.
That is the main DragonStructure lesson from this product.
At structural-product level, the modular assembly logic can be understood as:
Establish the ground layout of the main Ringlock scaffold structure.
Position the six confirmed adjustable bases according to the finalized drawing.
Install the initial 2m Ringlock standards.
Connect the main 2m horizontal ledgers.
Add the corresponding LR3 diagonal pipes.
Continue assembling the main Ringlock body vertically through repeated modular bays.
Install the four separately listed additional steel braces in their designed positions.
Assemble the projecting suspended scaffold part using its separate standards, horizontal pipes and diagonal members.
Integrate the 2.5m CS40 aluminum square truss into the confirmed suspension arrangement.
Install the motor, fibre sling and associated connection components according to the final equipment configuration.
Integrate the actual line-array system only after its dimensions, weight and suspension requirements have been confirmed.
This is practical modular assembly logic.
It is not a complete engineered installation procedure.
The DragonStructure Product rules explicitly require that distinction.
The word scaffold can create another misunderstanding.
Because the suspended part is made from Ringlock scaffold components, a reader may assume that it is intended as a personnel working platform.
That is not established by the supplied BOQ.
The confirmed suspended-part component list contains only:
standards;
horizontal pipes;
diagonal pipes.
It does not separately identify:
working decks;
stairs;
ladders;
trap-door platforms;
guardrails.
Therefore, the suspended scaffold part should be described according to its confirmed role in the speaker-suspension structure, not automatically as a personnel access area.
If technician access is required, it should be defined separately.
The difference is not simply:
6m vs 8m vs 10m vs 12m vs 16m.
This structure has a different geometric idea.
Other sound-support structures may be defined by:
a narrow standalone tower;
one auxiliary base;
several auxiliary bases;
four buttress bases;
a large widened lower support zone.
This structure is defined by:
a main Ringlock scaffold body plus a projecting suspended scaffold part dedicated to the line-array suspension position.
So its unique structural search question is:
How is a suspended Ringlock scaffold part integrated with a larger 10m Ringlock structure to create a line-array suspension position?
That is sufficiently different from a conventional tower-height product page.
This structural configuration came from analysis of an existing concert-site side view.
The side view was useful because it showed the physical relationship between:
the main scaffold structure;
the projecting suspended part;
the upper suspension position;
the line-array equipment.
That information helped reconstruct the final structural arrangement.
But this Product page should stop there.
The full process—
site image → observation → structural judgment → component interpretation → proposal
—is a Case Study story, not the core of the Product page.
DragonStructure's stable rules explicitly separate Product (“what is it and how is it configured?”) from Case Study (“why was it developed this way?”).
This structural concept may be relevant for:
outdoor concerts;
music festivals;
line-array suspension beside temporary event structures;
PA speaker support;
custom concert sound-support structures;
situations where the line array needs a projecting suspension position rather than remaining inside the main Ringlock body;
Ringlock structures integrating aluminum truss and motorized lifting equipment.
The actual suitability of this exact configuration for another project must be verified from the speaker system and site information.
The confirmed product is identified as approximately 10m high.
Changing height changes the Ringlock configuration and should not be treated as simple proportional scaling.
The original page describes approximately 2m width × 4m depth.
A different site layout may require different geometry.
Important variables include:
projection distance;
vertical position;
Ringlock module arrangement;
relationship to the main scaffold;
line-array position.
Provide:
speaker model;
cabinet quantity;
individual cabinet dimensions;
total array dimensions;
total suspended weight;
flying frame details.
Tower height and actual line-array hanging height are different dimensions.
The motor should be selected and verified against the actual equipment requirement.
This configuration uses:
CS40 389 × 389 × 2500mm
but another project may require a different interface.
If technicians require elevated access, that needs to be defined separately.
For a similar proposal, please provide:
required overall structure height;
required line-array hanging elevation;
speaker manufacturer and model;
number of cabinets;
dimensions of each cabinet;
total array dimensions;
total suspended equipment weight;
speaker flying frame information;
preferred lifting method;
existing motor/hoist information;
required suspended-part projection;
available ground footprint;
relationship to the stage or existing scaffold structure;
existing Ringlock components if reuse is planned;
existing aluminum truss if reuse is planned;
front-view drawing;
side-view drawing or photo;
plan view when available;
site photos;
indoor/outdoor use;
project location;
relevant ground/site information.
For this type of structure, the side view is especially useful as source information, because it helps explain the relationship between the main scaffold body and the projecting suspended part.
But again, side view is the observation angle—not the name of the structure.
The supplied product page and BOQ confirm:
approximate overall product description of 2m wide × 4m deep × 10m high;
primary Ringlock structure;
main Ringlock component group;
separate suspended Ringlock component group;
51 × 2m main horizontal pipes;
44 × 2.44m main diagonal pipes;
30 × 2m main standards;
6 × 0.25m adjustable bases;
4 additional steel braces;

1 × CS40 389 × 389 × 2500mm aluminum square truss;
4 double clamps;
packing weight approximately 950kg;
packing volume approximately 2CBM.
Based on the supplied structure, project history and normal project terminology:
the separately listed “suspending Layer truss” is better described in this context as the suspended part / suspended scaffold part;
the suspended part should be understood as a projecting Ringlock scaffold section integrated with the main structure;
it should not automatically be treated as a second independent tower;
the structure is primarily a Sound Support Structure even though it integrates an aluminum truss;
the original site side view was useful for understanding the geometry, but “side” is not part of the structural name.
These are project/experience-based interpretations, not engineering calculations.
The supplied information does not establish:
allowable suspended speaker weight for the complete structure;
verified 2000kg structural capacity;
maximum number of cabinets;
allowable point load;
allowable CS40 truss load within this integrated structure;
wind rating;
allowable operating wind speed;
ballast requirement;
anchoring requirement;
foundation requirement;
ground-bearing requirement;
safety factor;
certification;
code compliance;
engineering approval.
The source product's own general prose discusses load and wind considerations, but it does not supply formal project calculations establishing those values for this structure. Therefore DragonStructure must not convert those statements into verified ratings.

Custom Concert Outdoor Ringlock Suspending System for Line Array 10m
Original Product URL:
https://www.dragontruss.com/Custom-Concert-Outdoor-Ringlock-Suspending-System-for-Line-Array-10m-pd549356468.html
The original DragonTruss page presents the commercial product, approximately 2m × 4m × 10m overall configuration, packing information and detailed component BOQ.
The two pages should answer different questions.
What customized 10m Ringlock line-array suspending system can DragonStage manufacture and supply?
How is a 10m line-array suspension structure divided into a main Ringlock scaffold body, a projecting suspended scaffold part and a motorized aluminum-truss suspension interface?
This keeps the DragonStructure page focused on STRUCTURE BREAKDOWN, as required by the Product Prompt.
The suspended part is the projecting Ringlock scaffold section associated with the line-array suspension position. In the source BOQ it appears as a separately listed “suspending Layer truss” component group.
No. It is better understood as an integrated projecting scaffold section of the complete Ringlock structure, rather than a second independent tower.
Because “side” only described the viewing angle from which the original site structure was analyzed. It is not the structural identity of the component. In practical project language, suspended part or suspended scaffold part is more accurate.
The confirmed BOQ lists:
4 × 2m horizontal pipes;
8 × 2.44m diagonal pipes;
2 × 2m standards.
Yes. The BOQ includes one CS40 square truss measuring 389 × 389 × 2500mm.
Yes. It includes one motor and one flight case for the motor. The source motor specification lists a 2000kg load rating, 25m chain and 3.2m/min lifting speed.
No. The 2000kg figure belongs to the motor specification. It is not a verified allowable load for the complete Ringlock structure.
The main scaffold body and suspended part are Ringlock, but the line-array suspension interface also includes a CS40 aluminum truss, so the complete system contains a Ringlock + aluminum integration.
It can be a useful starting point for understanding geometry, especially the relationship between the main scaffold and the suspended part. But a photograph does not replace confirmed dimensions, equipment weight, drawings, site information or required engineering verification.

Defining Structural Feature | Main Ringlock scaffold body + projecting suspended scaffold part + line-array lifting interface |
A 10m-high Ringlock line-array suspension structure consisting of a main steel Ringlock scaffold body and a dedicated projecting suspended scaffold part. The suspended section uses its own Ringlock standards, horizontal members and diagonal bracing to create the line-array suspension position, while a CS40 aluminum square truss, motor, fibre sling and double clamps form the confirmed lifting and equipment interface. The structure was originally interpreted from a concert-site side view, but the “side” describes only the observation angle—the projecting Ringlock module itself is treated as the suspended part or suspended scaffold section.
