Layher Steel Deck Lightweight

STURDY. STRONG. LIGHTWEIGHT.

STURDY. STRONG. LIGHTWEIGHT.

A good product is now even better! This is exactly what’s been achieved with the Steel Deck Lightweight (LW). By using higher-tensile steel grades, thinner material, and an intelligent combination of profiles and material concentrations at structurally relevant areas, it has proved possible to reduce the weight of the steel deck, already established in the market, while retaining its high load-bearing capacity. That makes this steel deck lighter, handier, and more effective. Discover the benefits that the Steel Deck LW from Layher has to offer.

The Latest Product in the Layher Lightweight Family is Distinguished By:
  • Cut Weight, Boost Speed: Enjoy up to 10% weight reduction without sacrificing strength, accelerating assembly, and slashing labor costs.
  • Maximize Transport Efficiency: Optimize truck space with our lightweight decks, enhancing logistical efficiency and minimizing overheads.
  • Built with Safety in Mind: Walk confidently on reinforced decks, ensuring stability and security with every step.
  • Enhanced Handling: Thanks to optimized steel caps and profiles, the grip is easy to use, ensuring smooth operations in any environment.
  • Seamless Integration: Upgrade effortlessly with compatibility across generations of Layher steel decks, ensuring a smooth transition to enhanced performance.

PRACTICALLY-MINDED SAFETY

PRACTICALLY-MINDED SAFETY

Despite a lower weight, the high load-bearing capacities of the proven Layher steel deck remain unchanged. This is achieved by transverse reinforcements on the deck surface and longitudinal reinforcements on the web section. Also, the cross-section of the deck was optimized structurally by locating material concentrations in structurally relevant areas. The transverse reinforcements and the typical flared perforations on the surface also create a strong feeling of safety when walking on the deck. In addition, the longitudinal reinforcement provides optimum transmission of lashing forces during transport.

The Steel Deck LW can, just like previous generations, be used without any restriction for standard and roof brick guards.

IMPROVED APPLICABILITY

IMPROVED APPLICABILITY

Thanks to the lower weight of the Steel Deck LW, less weight has to be moved during assembly.

This increases both truck capacity and worker productivity. With an average assembly capacity of 3.3 man-hours per tonne of material, labor costs in this example can be reduced by up to 6 %, leading to long-term overall savings while considerably reducing the physical strain on the scaffolding erectors.

PROFITABILITY AND A SECURE FUTURE

PROFITABILITY AND A SECURE FUTURE

The Steel Deck LW ensures – as is usual at Layher – that investments are fully safeguarded since the deck can be installed together with all previous Layher scaffolding systems. The combination with steel decks of earlier generations presents no problems and results in a flat scaffolding deck surface. Stacking, too, is both easy and space-saving. As already familiar from earlier steel deck generations, the U-Steel Decks LW are also stacked in an interlocking manner. That minimizes the possible packing dimensions. It goes without saying that this stacking method is also possible in combination with steel decks of an earlier generation. All these measures result in high-value retention of your material stocks and their upgrading by purchasing innovative new products like the steel deck LW—a worthwhile investment.

The O-Steel Decks LW are also familiar from earlier generations, stacked directly on top of one another. The longitudinal profile ensures here that the stacked decks cannot slip. The O-Steel Deck LW can also be combined with O-steel decks of earlier manufacture in a mixed stack.

Faster Erection

FASTER ERECTION & DISMANTLING

FASTER ERECTION & DISMANTLING

SAVE WEIGHT & MONEY WITHOUT COMPROMISING STRENGTH.

Lighter is faster. Some 80% of the total cost of scaffolding is attributable to loading and unloading trucks, and to construction site erection and dismantling. Layher Lightweight’s reduced wall thickness means a greatly lowered component weight and up to 10% faster erection of birdcage structures.

LOWER SHIPMENT COSTS – GET MORE ON YOUR TRUCK WITH LIGHTER LOADS.

A truck‘s maximum permissible payload is determined by weight, not volume. Therefore Layher Lightweight components mean additional savings when it comes to shipping ledgers and standards to and from the construction site. For example, with a truck plated to carry a maximum load of 23 metric tons, you could transport approximately 6,400 m3 of birdcage scaffolding. With Layher Lightweight components, that figure rises to some 7,200 m3. That is 12 % more. That translates into fuel and manpower savings, and is better for the environment.

THE RESULT: LAYHER LIGHTWEIGHT – THE NEXT DIMENSION IN SCAFFOLDING

THE RESULT: LAYHER LIGHTWEIGHT – THE NEXT DIMENSION IN SCAFFOLDING

Assembly, dismantling and transport make up 80 % of scaffolding service costs. Studies have clearly shown that by reducing component weight, our customers can considerably enhance both their assembly and dismantling performances and use their transport capacities more efficiently. This is where our new Layher Lightweight philosophy comes to the fore.

By using higherstrength steel grades, new production processes and design improvements, we have succeeded in minimising the weight of the basic components of our SpeedyScaf and Allround Scaffolding systems – without reducing their high load capacities.

Assembly speed can be increased up to 10%, transport capacity up to 12%. As part of our integrated system, the lightweight products can also be combined with our previous product versions. Combination approvals are of course available.
