Innovation, versatility, choice and health and safety are key factors that underpin every Layher product as outlined in the following summaries. More detailed information can be obtained by going to the Downloads or Contact Us pages of our website.

Allround®Scaffolding

At the heart of the original Layher Allround® Scaffolding system is the ‘Allround Connector’. The design features a ‘rosette’ welded onto the upright component, which can safely and securely accommodate eight individual connections.

Developed for one-man assembly, irrespective of height, scaffolds can then be constructed in all three dimensions from each rosette. The design allows ledgers or transoms to be connected at right angles with additional components then fixed at variable angles with each stage automatically centred and correctly located for safe assembly.

A choice of hot-dipped galvanised steel or aluminium materials is available with original Layher Allround® Scaffolding. The first of these opens up a range of opportunities, often where conventional scaffolding technology cannot be best used, whilst the low weight of the aluminium alternative eases transportation and handling. It is therefore ideal where steel cannot be used for physical reasons.

Falsework

Specialist propping and formwork requirements can be met extensively with our expertise and falsework products – many of which, significantly, use standard Layher Allround components. This not only maximises equipment versatility but also makes a contribution to site efficiency in terms of speed, strength, safety and profitability.

Both standard and complex propping tasks can be addressed with the standard Layher Allround system components. Installations of formwork consisting of cross beams, longitudinal beams and plywood sheeting or of wide slab flooring can be then be completed successfully.

With erection and dismantling time minimised through the advanced system technology design - resulting directly in minimised time on site and thus best use of labour - and with excellent inherent strength resulting from verified high load bearing capacity, overall efficiency is maximised. This is enhanced by the low weight characteristics - which significantly benefit handling and transportation procedures - and safety certification, including ISO 9001 TUV and AS/NZS 1576 standards.

Layher SpeedyScaf®

Comprising just five standard component elements and a minimal number of assembly operations, Layher SpeedyScaf® has been designed to meet the needs of speed and stability from a single versatile system.

The principal components include a scaffolding frame, a choice of steel, aluminium or wood decks and a diagonal brace – the latter only required at every fifth bay during construction.

The design means that correct assembly guarantees structural accuracy and integrity whilst time savings for assembly and dismantling can amount to 75% compared to a tube and fitting alternative – all coupled with ergonomic, comfortable handling which enhances this simplicity.

Alongside the basic components a wide choice of additional parts is available to enable the user to tailor the installation to meet precise requirements. A choice of scaffold widths is also available – 0.73 metres wide for the hot-dipped galvanised or aluminium design, with the former also available to a width of 1.09 metres.

STAR Frame

Rapid assembly and significant relocation benefits arise from the coming together of the highly successful Layher Allround® and SpeedyScaf systems. The STAR Frame concept comprises just two main components which interface directly with the Allround® rosette design – resulting in a scaffold system that is both highly versatile yet quick and simple to use.

Rectangular frames and separate guardrails are the key elements with the STAR Frame concept which, because they are supplied pre-formed, dramatically reduce erection and dismantling time. Additionally an overall weight saving of some 42% can be achieved against comparable Allround® components – which themselves are already noted for the lightweight characteristics.

The simplicity of the guardrail connection, which comprises a hook system that can be assembled without tools and then securely locked with a high visibility closing bracket, is a key safety factor. This means that correct locking can be confirmed ‘at a glance’ while the design means that even when the bracket is not closed, guardrails are secured against accidental removal. Moreover, any standard Layher deck can be used with the system, reducing equipment costs as a result.

The latest development effectively brings together safety, speed, versatility and cost efficiency into single, simple design that, importantly, also benefits from the Layher rosette connecter system. All users of the STAR Frame can also therefore benefit from the full Layher Allround® range and the installation capability of the established system.

Bridging Truss

Whether installed as a footbridge or as a support girder for heavy loads, the new Layher Allround® Bridging Truss system offers a range of benefits to installers of purpose-designed temporary structures, both those involved in general scaffolding and also the event sector. The highly versatile design is fully compatible with the Layher Allround® Scaffold system and features the same wedge-head connection design, and is available in bay sizes of either 2.07 or 2.57 metres to provide a choice of walkway dimensions.

Construction can be made either in-situ or assembled at ground level for craning into position to provide spans of up to 30 metres. In all cases, high strength is a key element of the design – only a 5 cm deflection is noted, for example, over a 24 m span. Additionally, a range of optional fittings can also be specified to include a choice of steel or event decking, Layher ‘Protect’ panels, childproof guard rails and temporary roof sections to offset adverse weather conditions.

Apart from pedestrian walkways, the Bridging Truss can also be used as a clear support girder over obstructions for scaffolding. By building off and upward, podiums or roof structures can then be installed whilst even suspended scaffolding installations can be connected. Where required, several beams can be assembled next to each other for a further increase in foot traffic or as a temporary work platform.

Adhering firmly to Layher’s philosophy of modular design, installations can be achieved almost irrespective of terrain and pedestrian traffic requirements – confirming the Allround® Bridging Truss as a major addition to the Layher range.
