Public Access Stairs Solutions
FLEXIBLE, REUSABLE, AND BUILT TO LAST
Emergency egress routes can be provided economically and fast using public access stairtowers thanks to the Layher Allround Scaffolding construction kit.
Taking proven Allround Scaffolding as the basis, stairway structures can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of building situations, such as exit level. For various rises and loads, and if required with child safety guardrails,
Layher public access stairways is your perfect solution. It offers a long service life assured by continuously monitored and high-quality production “Made in Germany”, and by the high standard of surface coating on all Layher steel components by means of hot-dip galvanizing.
The 16-standard design of the Allround stairtower is suitable for uses with high live loads. In this case, the stairways are made up of individual stringers and as steps, a series of decks. That permits variable stairway flight widths of 1.29 to 2.07 meters (4 ft 3 in to 6 ft 9 in). The 16-standard floor plan of the stairtower allows adjustment of the exit heights using short equalizing stairways in the intermediate bays.
Thanks to their modular design, the weights and the volumes of the individual parts are low, assuring fast and hence economical assembly and dismantling as well as creating advantages for logistics. The high proportion of standardized Layher Allround Scaffolding material further contributes to high efficiency.
PUBLIC ACCESS STAIRS OVERVIEW
Layher Public Access Stairs provide safe, efficient vertical access for construction, industrial, and public environments. Designed for rapid deployment and high load capacity, these modular stair systems support emergency access, site circulation, and temporary public infrastructure.
Built on the Layher Allround system, Public Access Stairs offer flexible configurations that can be adapted to a wide range of project requirements, from construction sites to large-scale public events.
Their modular design ensures quick installation, reliable performance, and seamless integration with existing scaffolding systems.
PUBLIC ACCESS STAIRS FUNCTION
Layher Public Access Stairs are engineered to deliver controlled, high-capacity vertical access in demanding environments.
Using modular components, these systems can be configured to provide:
- Temporary public access stair towers
- Emergency egress systems
- Construction site access stairs
- High-capacity stairways for public and industrial use
The system integrates seamlessly with Layher scaffolding, allowing fast installation, structural stability, and adaptability to changing site conditions.
Maximum Investment Protection
With the fourth generation of Allround Lightweight, we set a new milestone in scaffolding. Like all our innovations, it integrates seamlessly—protecting your investment.

THE STAIRTOWER 750
The stairtower 750, thanks to its riser dimensions and load capacity values, is the optimum solution for stairway structures open to the public.
The advantages of modular-designed Layher Allround Scaffolding over one-off solutions made of steel and wood are persuasive: fast and economical assembly, exact adaptation to rough conditions, and later re-use of the scaffolding parts when the building requirements change – or for new applications.
LAYHER SYSTEM HANDRAIL
Stairtowers, wheelchair ramps or bridges open to the public have to provide continuous handrail in order to meet American building regulations. Layher now has an immediate solution for all structures with child safety guardrails.
With the system handrail, complex one-off designs and assembly work can be avoided. With just three parts – handrail holder, joint and handrail tube – the guardrail can be installed quickly and easily in line with regulations for every stair type.
With rotating joints that permit any angle between 90° and 180° to be set and used, all transitions between the handrail tubes are smooth and pleasant to the touch.
The handrail can easily be set to the required height, on site, using the assembly tool. For more information, please contact us.
