Allround AGS Façade System

Advanced efficiency, versatility, speed and safety in façade scaffolding

Winner, NASC Product Innovation of the Year, 2021

Layher’s Allround AGS Façade System offers an advanced safe, simple and efficient solution for façade scaffold installations via an innovative advancing post and guardrail design. The system is completely independent but can also interface directly with other well-established Layher equipment.

The system comprises 2 m standards featuring integrated Layher rosette connectors at 1 m height to which two single guardrails are pre-attached. The assembly is then elevated by hand from the secure lower level, meaning the preceding guardrails are already in place on the next lift. The guardrails are fixed in place via highly visible quick-release levers whose bright red finish enables a rapid visual check of an entire structure to be made from ground level.

The AGS Façade System’s lightweight materials aid the manual handling process, with dimensions that help to optimise transportation and storage. Once installed, extensions can be readily added, regardless of the existing structure’s layout.
