Core offering

LAYHER, S.A. manufactures, sells, and rents modular scaffolding systems produced exclusively in Germany. Its portfolio includes the Blitz frame scaffold, the Allround multidirectional scaffold, formwork systems (Cimbra TG60, Cimbra XL), the AGS collective protection system, mobile aluminum towers, event structures (stages, grandstands, PA towers), and accessories. The company complements hardware with the LayPLAN SUITE digital planning software and SIM2Field XR augmented reality app for BIM-integrated scaffolding design.

Product overview

Layher is the world's largest manufacturer of modular and multidirectional scaffold systems, producing exclusively in Germany. Its product portfolio centers on two core scaffold systems — the Blitz (frame scaffold) and Allround (multidirectional scaffold) — supported by a comprehensive range of specialized products and digital tools. The LightWeight sub-brand delivers lighter, stronger, and more economical variants across multiple systems. Sector-specific solutions include the AGS facade guardrail system, Protect covering/protection systems, and event systems (stages, grandstands, PA towers). Formwork products include Cimbra TG60 and Cimbra XL. Mobile towers cover models from compact to SoloTower. An extensive accessories line complements all systems. Digital offerings are organized around LayPLAN SUITE (LayPLAN CLASSIC, CAD, TO RSTAB, TO REVIT, VR VIEWER, Material Manager) and the SIM (Scaffolding Information Modeling) process, including SIM2Field XR App and Layher AR App. Integration with Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, and Dlubal RSTAB extends planning workflows into standard BIM environments.
