AT-PAC RINGLOCK DIBT APPROVAL

April 7, 2022

AT-PAC Ringlock scaffolding system receives one of the world's most recognized approvals for scaffolding – the DIBt. The Ringlock brand is the world’s first non-European scaffold system with the DIBt approval.   


In autumn 2020, AT-PAC and Doka entered into a global strategic partnership. This combined AT-PAC's many years of scaffolding experience with Doka's global presence. AT-PAC’s Ringlock system has been adopted and implemented by Doka as their own Scaffolding System to provide customers ‘more than formwork’.


DIBt Approval – A milestone

The DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) is a leading technical authority responsible for granting national approvals for construction products in Germany. It is one of the most recognized and regulated approvals for scaffolding worldwide. AT-PAC’s proprietary quality assurance program and rigorous quality checks, and expert scaffold knowledge have been proven to be successful by securing the DIBt approval and guarantees customers a supply of high-quality scaffolding system with globally recognized approvals and certifications. AT-PAC’s Ringlock approval number is Z-8.22-992.


This marks a major milestone in the scaffolding strategy of AT-PAC Doka: “The DIBt certification marks a significant milestone in our company’s history and realizes our vision over the past 10+ years to invest in the development of our products to build the basis for international growth and be recognized as one of the major scaffolding players in the market”, says Jeff Davis – CEO of AT-PAC.

Project Spotlight: A World-Class Access Solution for Challenging Marine Conditions at Hastings Port, Australia

By Tim Quick • June 26, 2026
Browse the complete project gallery AT-PAC Australia supplied a comprehensive Ringlock scaffolding solution to support JVAT Industries in delivering a complex headstock refurbishment project at Hastings Port, Victoria, Australia. Working in a challenging marine environment, the project required a fully engineered suspended scaffold system that provided safe access to every headstock and pile beneath the jetty. Designing a solution capable of performing in tidal conditions while withstanding harsh marine weather presented significant engineering and logistical challenges. Parts of the scaffold system were required to operate below the waterline, demanding careful planning, innovative engineering and close collaboration between AT-PAC, Dre Designs and JVAT Industries. Through detailed design and technical expertise, the team delivered a solution that provided safe, reliable access while standing up to the demanding marine environment. AT-PAC's versatile Ringlock system delivered the strength, adaptability and performance required for this highly specialised application, enabling JVAT Industries to deliver a critical access solution for refurbishment works with confidence. This project demonstrates how engineered access solutions, backed by technical expertise and strong collaboration, can overcome even the most demanding industrial access challenges.
