LAYHER IS THE LEADER IN
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE INDUSTRIAL SCAFFOLDING
Aircraft maintenance operations require scaffolding systems that provide safer, stable, and adaptable access around complex aircraft structures while supporting strict safety standards and operational efficiency. From routine inspections and maintenance to repair, retrofits, and assembly operations, reliable access systems are essential across aviation maintenance environments.
With over 75 years of manufacturing experience, Layher’s Allround® modular scaffolding system has become a trusted solution for aircraft maintenance facilities and aerospace operations. Designed for flexibility, precision, and rapid deployment, Layher systems help improve worker safety, simplify access to complex aircraft structures, and support efficient project execution across aviation environments.
How Layher Improves Performance
Layher scaffolding systems are engineered to simplify complex industrial challenges while maintaining safety and efficiency.
- Modular system adapts to irregular and confined structures
- Bolt-free assembly enables faster installation and dismantling
- Engineered components provide consistent load capacity and stability
- Integrated access systems improve safer movement at height
- Flexible configurations reduce the need for custom-built solutions
Integrated Approach to Industrial Scaffolding
Layher combines engineering expertise, modular scaffolding systems, and implementation training to improve safety, streamline installation, and support efficient execution across Aircraft Maintenance applications.
This integrated approach helps improve worker safety, increase productivity, and support more efficient project execution across industrial environments.
SCAFFOLD SYSTEM SOLUTIONS
SAFER AND FLAT WORK PLATFORMS – OPTIMISED FOR THE JOB TO BE DONE
Since no plant is like another, scaffolding systems have to be flexible and adaptable. With Layher scaffolding, that’s no problem: Thanks to the option of laying the decks over the rosettes, a gap-free solution can be accomplished without additional expense or effort. For special cases specific to the site, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of expansion parts for achieving completely closed work surfaces within the system.
Solution-oriented components
- Special decks
- Penetrations with interchangeable ledgers
- Telescoping scaffolding decks
- Gap deck
- Steel gap cover
- Steel plank
ACCESS
Well-designed and correctly arranged accesses improve efficiency and also productivity at the site.
Solution-oriented components
- Internal ladder access
- Platform stairs
- Stairtowers 200
ROOFS & WALL SYSTEMS
The extensive Layher range of protective systems extends from compact weather protection roofs to wide-span roof solutions and enclosure systems which can be kept at a lower pressure.
Solution-oriented components
- Roof Systems
- Wall systems
SHORING
Shoring structures are an important factor in ensuring more safety and efficiency for in-site concreting work, particularly when building a new plant.
Solution-oriented components
- New plant construction with Allround Scaffolding
VESSELS
Closing the gaps in round equipment is often a challenge. Covering with steel or wood planks can be classified as a risk of tripping. In addition, these must be protected against unintentional lifting and slipping, which can cause problems depending on the type of soil used.
Solution-oriented components
- Flexible angle selection of Allround rosette
- Work surface adaptation for circular scaffolding
SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING SOLUTIONS
When the work areas are very high up, standard scaffolding structures can often be uneconomical due to high material and labour costs. With Allround Scaffolding, suspended solutions can be achieved without any problem in such cases. Pull-resistant securing of the standards with hinged pins or by bolting them together allows forces to be optimally transmitted.
Solution-oriented components
- Suspended scaffolding structures
- Suspended scaffolding accessories
- Cantilevering and crane movability
Layher Suspended Scaffolding Solutions
CRANE MOVABILITY
The high fitting precision in the Layher system enables scaffolding structures to be preassembled on the ground, complete or in individual segments. Thanks to pull-resistant connection of all individual parts, they can be moved quickly and easily into position using a crane. This is a major advantage when it comes to efficiency and profitability. At the same time, safety during assembly increases many times over. Because the best fall protection is when there is no risk of falls in the first place.
Solution-oriented components
- Stairtowers
- Work Scaffolding
- Bridging
BRIDGING
Small spans are possible with Allround Scaffolding without the use of additional components, using standards, ledgers, and diagonal braces as a lattice structure.
Solution-oriented components
- Allround Scaffolding standard parts
- Lattice beams
- Aluminum FlexBeam
- Allround Bridging System
FIRE SAFETY, WOOD-FREE SOLUTIONS
Reduction of the fire risk is a requirement frequently expressed for scaffolding in refineries, chemical factories, and other fire-sensitive industrial plants. Components made of wood can be ruled out for obvious reasons. Layher has the optimum alternatives: system decks and matching toe boards made of steel or aluminum. Gap solutions made of steel, and scaffolding coverings made of low-inflammability tarpaulins or the Protect System, round off the range.
Solution-oriented components
- Steel deck LW
- Toeboards of steel and aluminum
- Steel plank

THE FUTURE OF SCAFFOLDING IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE INDUSTRY IS DIGITAL — AND ITS NAME IS SIM
SIM or Scaffolding Information Modeling is a scaffolding design process based on 3D models. At Layher, we use it to meet the precise requirements of industrial scaffolding, including those used in the aircraft maintenance industry. SIM helps us to plan, assemble, and strategically manage temporary scaffolding structures in the most efficient ways possible.
SIM allows you to:
- Plan your scaffolding in detail before it is being built
- Strategize and schedule your project with certainty and confidence
- Increase the safety and profitability of your project
- Provide transparency and cost control for its lifespan
- Budget, schedule, simulate the construction processes and conduct feasibility studies
- Assist in implementation, including assembly, approval, use, modification, and dismantling of any scaffolding project within Aircraft Maintenance
- Verify structural loads
LAYPLAN SUITE – THE INTEGRATED SOFTWARE SOLUTION.
Time and material are crucial factors in scaffolding construction.
To make the most efficient use of both, the Layher range includes the practical scaffolding planning software LayPLAN.
