Can Layher meet the unique and complex requirements of large-scale industrial and commercial projects?2022-03-22T16:15:29-05:00

Layher offers two versatile scaffolding systems to meet any type and size of project. Allround® Scaffolding, the industry standard for modular scaffolding, offers unbeatable adaptability and flexibility. It is the scaffold of choice for industrial facilities, chemical plants, power stations, refineries, construction sites, factories, shipyards, airfields, theaters, arenas, and highway and bridge construction sites. Allround® is ideal for demanding, complicated applications where conventional scaffolding cannot be optimally and economically used.

Layher SpeedyScaf® Scaffolding, unbeatably strong and reliable, is the leading frame scaffolding on the market, with built-in safety features that ensure easy code compliance. The advantage of SpeedyScaf® is its rapid, easy-to-understand, bolt-free assembly. With only five basic elements and few manual operations, SpeedyScaf® provides a secure base for virtually any job. Well-designed loading capacities and project-based standard lengths enhance the practicality of SpeedyScaf® and multiply its uses, eliminating the need for more expensive solutions.
