LAYHER SCAFFOLDING
A PARTNERSHIP IN EFFICIENCY AND PROFITABILITY
Mining and raw materials operations require scaffolding systems that can perform in demanding environments while supporting strict safety standards, operational efficiency, and continuous production schedules. From processing facilities and conveyor systems to structural maintenance and equipment access, reliable scaffolding solutions are essential for maintaining productivity across mining operations.
With over 75 years of manufacturing experience, Layher’s Allround® modular scaffolding system has become a trusted solution across mining and raw materials facilities. Designed for flexibility, stability, and rapid deployment, Layher systems help improve worker safety, simplify access to complex structures, and support efficient project execution in challenging 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

- 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.
