Layher SpeedyScaf Frame Scaffolding

The original SpeedyScaf Frame Scaffolding was invented by Layher in 1965. It revolutionized the facade scaffolding construction and still supersedes conventional frame scaffolding, i.e. BilJax, Safway type scaffolding.

The assembly of SpeedyScaf Frame Scaffolding is easy and lightning fast. One great advantage with SpeedyScaf compared to conventional frame scaffolding is that no bracing is needed on the wall side, giving you a maximized work space with no obstructions. This is ideal for stucco work, painters, carpentry etc.

With the Speedy assembly frame Lightweight, the Layher SpeedyScaf equipment has been the recognized leader for decades in insertion-frame systems. Modern, fast and robust, making it ideal for work on facades. Layher SpeedyScaf is, thanks to its versatile and well thought-out range of parts, equally economical to use in scaffolding construction and in professional trades.

US Style Scaffolding

In United States the most used scaffolding type is a steel frame scaffolding type. There are a couple of patterns that everyone tries to match called BilJax, SafWay and Waco. The difference between them isn’t much except for color and cross brace spacing. This type of scaffolding does not allow for the same freedom as the Euroframe Scaffolding mentioned here earlier since you have cross braces on both sides obstructing the wall you’re trying to work on. The frames are also wider compared to European Style Scaffolding Frames.

Safway Scaffolding BilJax Scaffolding

Most of these US Style Scaffolding frames allow for some type of climbing on one side and walk through on the other side. It is assembled in sets and each set consist of two frames, two cross braces, stacking pins and spring rivets. This is how they’re sold most of the time but make sure to check that all parts are included, especially if you’re comparing the price.

While this type of scaffolding is considered obsolete compared to modern frame and system scaffolding, it will most likely get the job done. And if low price is a key factor for you, it won’t get any cheaper than this.

Most people use these scaffolding sets with DI65 or LVL Scaffold Plank, but Aluminum and plywood decks are also available.
