Layher’s bolt-free connections, lightweight but high-strength components, and seamless adaptability to complicated geometries make it an affordable and future-ready alternative to traditional steelwork-based structures, revolutionising how the world builds, connects, and supports.
For more than 75 years, Layher (the name of a German Company) has been synonymous worldwide with high-quality and practically tested scaffolding systems. Layher is present worldwide with more than 45 sales subsidiaries. The products are used in various industries, including chemical and power plants, as well as in the construction of ships and offshore facilities. Due to innovative products, superior technical solutions, and Layher’s absolute customer-orientated service package, Layher has become the standard in scaffolding systems worldwide.
Quick to assemble – safe and flexible to use
Allround Scaffolding from Layher lives up to its name: its efficient assembly and dismantling, its enormous performance and the highest level of flexibility make it suitable for practically every application.
At civil engineering sites, construction companies build a range of structures in addition to handling the actual building work, from classic work scaffolding to reinforcing and shoring structures and accesses such as stairs and bridging. In many cases, steel or timber structures built specifically for the project are used to meet these requirements, with the drawback being wage-intensive production and limited applicability.
Layher can offer its Allround Scaffolding as a holistic approach, resulting in a considerably more economical alternative for these extensive requirements. Layher’s Allround Scaffolding Lightweight consists of four essential components: standards, ledgers, diagonal braces, and system decks, which serve as the foundation for all temporary buildings. The low weight of the system components, despite their high loading capacity, is ensured by the use of the latest higher-strength steels, as well as the self-locking wedge head connection using the proven Allround Connector, which has structural advantages and up to eight connection options in one plane, the system’s automatic rectangularity, and the predetermined system dimension. Time-consuming measurements can be dispensed with. The unrestricted selection of angles for the connections, along with various standard lengths, enables flexible adaptation to building geometries, ground plans, and topographic idiosyncrasies – all while utilising standard components.

For further applications, the Layher construction kit also includes matching supplementary components – structurally and dimensionally integrated into the system. In conjunction with a stairway stringer, the four basic Allround components are quickly transformed into a site stair tower. Combination Allround Shoring Frames TG 60, along with Allround Scaffolding, enable the construction of shoring towers with a loading capacity of up to six tonnes per standard.
The fast and economical assembly of system solutions versus steelwork-based one-off structures is just one of the advantages that system scaffolding has over steelwork-based ones.
One-off structures or scaffolding systems. Also important: rapid availability of standard components, immediate costing based on existing listed prices, simple structural strength verification based on building authority approval, flexible adjustment even to complex building geometries, and, most importantly, repeated and versatile opportunities for use, ranging from facade, suspended and birdcage scaffolding to shoring, reinforcing scaffolding, stairs and bridging, as well as site protection – i.e., roofs or enclosures.
Integration of Allround Shoring Towers TG 60 into Allround Scaffolding enables economical solutions.
Layher Allround shoring TG 60 (The False work frame – even more options in Allround Scaffolding) employs a simple, distinctive, and bolt-free connecting method. Sliding the wedge head over the rosette and inserting the wedge into the opening immediately secures the component in place. There is still adequate play to secure the other end of the ledger. A hammer blow to the wedge changes the loose connection into a superbly strong, structurally rigid one. The face of the wedge head is now precisely positioned against the standard.

Shoring was built to provide temporary support for the formwork during the construction of a motorway bridge. Using Layher Allround Scaffolding ensured an economical solution here, as there are load concentrations in the region of the bridge walkways. Shoring towers were integrated into the Allround Scaffolding with the high-strength Allround Shoring Frames TG 60. This allowed the heavy loads to be safely transmitted. The bolt-free and self-locking Allround wedge head connection, Auto-Lock, combined with automatic rectangularity, plus the Allround System’s lengths, also allowed for rapid assembly – with no need for tedious measuring work.
The safe assembly sequence for Allround Shoring TG 60 automatically provides scaffolding erectors with all-around side protection, even without additional components, during upright assembly. This enables the full compliance with valid safety regulations for the first time. The use of the new Allround Shoring TG 60 thus ensured crucial advantages for the Scaffolding Company: compliance with the tight schedules required by project planning, optimal working conditions for the formwork, and a high degree of safety during assembly work.
