I have only ever seen them into the ring beams, usually as per design ! Depends on where the floor level is for catching two standards. if the floor is at mid lift its usually knee braced back to lift above. Went to a site today, ties to steel from top kwikstage guardrail at mid bay, top lift only at 8m. Totally shocking what some of these scaffold companies are handing over as complete.
These ties are meant to go into the ring beam at floor level. Shocking
