The focus of our development work is always on the integration of new products and the improvement of safety during assembly and dismantling of the scaffolding. The products are being used by industries like construction, cement plant, chemical plants, oil and gas power plants, at shipyards and offshore. Layher continues to invest in the expansion of highly-automated manufacturing. This means that we can produce competitively in Germany and ensure the consistently high quality of our products.

More possibilities – Layher products and services
Layher’ present product characteristics and services help customers achieve long-term success and increase the profitability of their companies. The Layher Allround Scaffolding has been established as a synonym for modular scaffolds on the market. The Allround Scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility to be used in construction sites, chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, event sector, theatres and arenas. 

The proven combination of positive and non-positive connections in a rapid and bolt-free system technology with AutoLock function facilitates connections that are automatically right-angled, obtuse-angled and acute-angled – and ensures builtin safety at the same time. Layher Allround Scaffolding has now become synonymous with modular scaffolding on the market. 

Rapid assembly and optimum use of materials ensure economical scaffolding structures. The aluminium FlexBeam makes it possible. It enables surface scaffolding to be efficiently assembled both suspended and upright.

Further expansion using standard Allround components is also possible. In the case of use as suspended scaffolding. The anchor plate and the suspension shoe are available for receiving the beam. The anchor plate is intended for direct wall-plug connection to the structure.

The world’s largest system scaffolding manufacture has developed a revolutionary Aluminum FlexBeam to help create safe and economical quality structures.

The Layher FlexBeam system adds a new dimension to the concept of Allround scaffolding for soffit access, gantry access and cantilever access. The aluminium FlexBeam has many advantages over applications where previous lattice beams relied on time consuming assembly by traditional scaffolding methods.

In the past, constructing suspended and cantilevered access, elevated site cabin and pedestrian gantry walkway types of scaffold structures would involve an array of heavy steel lattice beams requiring time-consuming installation, and the use of further materials for lacing, bracing and tying the structure. This innovation does all of this in a single product facilitating rapid assembly. The high load capacity Aluminium FlexBeam enables surface scaffolding to be efficiently assembled both suspended and upright.

Advanced design
This well-designed product comes with many options making it extremely flexible in a range of different situations. The suspension shoe can be directly connected to the tie rod adapter, meaning the suspension itself can be extended in length by Allround standards using the standard adapter, male or female adapter. A standard connector is used for expansion within the Layher system dimensions.

Compatible with Layher Allround Scaffolding The FlexBeam is a 280 mm deep rectangular hollow section extruded aluminium beam designed for suspension and support applications with components allowing compatibility with Layher Allround bay sizes. The components include a suspension system for bridge or floor slab soffit access. A selection of adaptors allows the connection of Layher Allround scaffolding either above and or below the FlexBeam, ensuring convenient methods of access wherever required.

Structural stability
The FlexBeam system is quick and easy to erect, employing pins with safety clips for ease of assembly and positioning. The system is designed to incorporate Layher’s steel or aluminium decking systems directly onto the beam creating an immediate working platform. This includes a Layher lock-against-lift-off (LALO) system that provides structural stability and prevents the decking from being dislodged in high-wind conditions.

Higher point-loading FlexBeams are supplied in lengths of 3 metres to 7 metres. Where required, the beams can be joined end-to-end using the FlexBeam connector. The system components for support and suspension are located along the beam length and allow much higher point load applications when compared to conventional lattice beams.

What’s more, the lift-off preventer can be inserted anywhere and moved in the longitudinal direction of the beam, fixed in place with a special bolt. To extend the length of beams, the FlexBeam spigot is available, which is inserted into the hollow chamber of the beam section and then pinned to it. The timber beam support permits lateral fitting of an extra beam. For example, it can act as a basis for providing fitted bays in curved sections.

Ringing bells
This forward-thinking company is already well known for their ‘original Layher Allround modular scaffolding system’, regarded as one of the best scaffolding system available in today’s market, complete with unique 360° connection technology. Construction sites, power stations, chemical plants, shipyards and public arenas are just a few applications in which the Layher Allround Scaffolding system can be used.

By using state-of-the-art design software, on-going installation help and direct liaison, they have worked and continue to forge strong links with some of the top contractors in the industry.
