Layher Scaffolding No matter the project, Layher has the right scaffold system for your industry.

Looking back this year, we celebrate the team in Germany for receiving the Top Innovator award for 2024 in the German SME sector!

Pictured we see the Layher Managing Directors Tobias Dürmeier, Wolf Christian Behrbohm and Stefan Stöcklein (left to right) having accepted the 2024 Top Innovator award on behalf of the entire Layher Team.

GUEGLINGEN-EIBENSBACH. Making scaffolding construction easier, faster and safer – that’s a central focus at Layher. This applies to products, solutions and services just as much as it does to the targeted improvement of processes. For that holistic approach, Layher has now been awarded the 2024 TOP 100 Seal – an award given for special innovative strengths and above-average innovation success. This was based on a scientific selection process headed by innovation researcher Professor Nikolaus Franke. The well-known science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar is mentoring the innovation competition.

The pressure cookers of our industrial sector is what powers our homes and lives. We pay homage to industrial boilers in a new short article available on our LinkedIn page.

51metres of possibilities brought to you by Layher’s Allround scaffolding system. Within this structure you will find value on 23 levels that traditional steel scaffolding suppliers just cannot offer your plant during shutdown.

Extras Included in this success story during maintenance of this Three cut splitter TCS column at a refinery in South Africa:

▶ Drastic weight reduction
▶ No crane needed
▶ Ablution facility and hoist mechanism
▶ Comfortable stairways
▶ Easy Adaptability of system around obstacles
▶ Technical on site assistance and training

Up for some fun? Comment the missing colour!👇

It’s the small things that make a big difference. Labelling of scaffolding, specifically Layher’s Allround diagonal bracing, ensures that every brace is labelled precisely for height and width use. The labels include clearly marked numbers 1-4 and colour codes. These elements assist in quick identification of the brace necessary for use.
There is additional information that indicates the height and bay length, but the efficiency of colour and number combination is what makes Layher’s scaffolding align directly with our values in efficiency, quality and safety.

We are thrilled to announce our dynamic new partnership with Alpine Scaffolding!

Alpine Scaffolding has had remarkable growth and with their recent surge in work and they were happy to consider Layher as their material of choice for upcoming projects. We started with the viewing platform project at a new residential construction site in Claremont, then with the success of that project they requested a façade scaffold on Loop Street in Cape Town City Centre. Following the delivery of our material we sent our engineers to their yard to give their scaffolders and yard staff Layher Product Familiarisation Training to grow their understanding of the Layher product for future projects.

Their dedication to excellence aligns perfectly with Layher's commitment to innovation and quality, making this collaboration a match made in scaffolding heaven. We are expecting a very fruitful long-term partnership with Alpine Scaffolding in the Western Cape area of Southern Africa.

Can you guess the size?

Diagonal bracing forms part of the three basic elements of scaffolding components. Layher’s Allround scaffolding system hosts a variety of sizes to accommodate bay lengths and standard heights. These braces ultimately provide structural stability but can be used as an alternative to as console brackets(more on that later!)

It’s easy to spot what a diagonal brace looks like, but it can be tricky knowing the precise size, especially when immediately assembling any structure.

There is a solution in identifying the sizes based off the labels that accompanies each brace. Bay lengths are represented by colours and rosette heights displayed with numbers. Look out for our next post explaining how the labels work in depth!

By entrusting the use of Layher’s scaffolding system, the RSC Group was able to deliver world class service to one of Eskom’s boilers at Duvha.

This routine maintenance operation posed many challenges such as limited maneuverable space and dark environments.

The task involved doing maintenance on the boiler walls and hopper slopes. The scaffold was erected in record time of 8 days and helped the plant save 21 days in maintenance time. To ensure safety and stability, the Allround FW system was employed to achieve maximum efficiency.

Have you seen the Allround System in action? Visit our warehouse in Germiston and see for yourself! Or simply contact one of our engineers to assist.

Have you ever been inside a boiler?

They are massive, dark and it’s a tough environment to navigate, especially when performing maintenance. We recommend using Layher’s Allround Lightweight scaffolding system for best results. This bolt free technology allows for up to 8 different connections on one standard giving you more flexibility in tight spaces. The material is lightweight resulting in faster assembly times and cost savings on materials. Complete your routine maintenance projects in half the time and half the cost.

Allround Scaffolding components. O-ledger VS U-ledger

Their names are derived from the cross-sectional profile design of each ledger. These ledgers are made of steel or aluminium and are available in reinforced sections for higher load bearing. As part of the basic components of a scaffolding structure, there are key differences in design and function of O and U-ledgers.

Typical use of O-ledgers includes adding structural stability to scaffolding and as use for handrails and knee rails. O-ledgers can anchor O-decks and platform stairs, but this is limited without reinforcement. Past a certain length, no-reinforced O-ledgers are not suitable as deck-bearing components.

In our unending quest for innovation and simplicity, U-ledgers were designed specifically for carrying decks and with reinforcement already included on longer ledgers. This prevents the accidental installation of decks on non-load bearing ledgers.
The U-ledger incorporates a channel in its design which allows to host U-decks, access decks and platform stairs with smooth adjustments for adjacent decks made possible.

To help with closing the space and safely securing the decks, a lift off preventer is used in conjunction with the U-ledger.

Simplicity when you need it.

Out of dozens of possible choices in couplers as part of our System Free Accessories, we have narrowed down 9 general use couplers for your consideration in project problem solving made easier. Manufactured with safety in mind, these couplers are hot-dip galvanized, meaning they are more resistant to corrosion which increases their lifespan for use. (PART 1 of 3)

• Double Coupler – Allows for the connection of two 48.3mm tubes at right angle

• Swivel Coupler - Allows for the connection of two tubes at any angle

• Double Wedge Head LW Coupler - Allows for connection of several Allround standards to one another

For a complete list of our Couplers, please drop us an email at [email protected] and our Engineers will get back to you with a brochure. Alternatively, view our webpage for more information | www.layher.co.za/en/System-Free-Accessories

Fast and fabulous fun in the snow

The capital of Kazakhstan, Astana, knows how to have fun! A governing authority initiated the construction of a 40m long and 10m high snow slide.

The requirements were quite clear: maximum safety both climbing up and sliding down, for both children and adults. The solution? Layher Allround Scaffolding.

Key features of this assembly included:
► Digital planning by Layher’s applications engineers using LayPLAN CAD, including 3D visualisation, for easier design and assembly.

► High-strength structure with flexible adjustment to the geometry of the ground surface.

► Substructure made from reinforced Allround ledgers for the wooden slide surface.

► Integration of an Allround Scaffolding Stairtower 500, including child safety guardrails and platforms for climbing up and down in comfort.

► Professional training of the scaffolding erectors at the location by Layher’s applications engineers.
