HAKI Universal or Layher Allround?
Short answer: neither is better in general; it depends on what you own or can rent, and on the facade. In ScaFix, HAKI Universal has bays of 3.05 m and 2.5 m and depths of 1.66 m, 1.25 m, 1.01 m, 0.77 m and 0.7 m; Layher Allround has bays of 3.07 m and 2.57 m and depths of 1.4 m, 1.09 m and 0.73 m. On the 11.4 m × 5.3 m example house, HAKI Universal needs 450 parts and Layher Allround 481; on a straight wall of four bays, 6 m high, HAKI Universal needs 168 (12.2 m) and Layher Allround 166 (12.28 m).
The two systems in ScaFix
From the app’s system catalogue. One difference in the setups: ScaFix gives HAKI Universal a stair tower for access and Layher Allround ladders through the decks, so the stair tower’s parts are in HAKI’s total. HAKI’s decks are its aluminium planks, listed under its system-specific parts.

The same straight walls with each system
Five straight walls of 2 to 10 bays, 4 to 12 m high, one per row. Each system uses its own longest bay, so the lengths differ slightly.
| Bays | HAKI Universal · 0.77 m | Layher Allround · 0.73 m |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 6.1 × 4 m: 73 | 6.14 × 4 m: 65 |
| 4 | 12.2 × 6 m: 168 | 12.28 × 6 m: 166 |
| 6 | 18.3 × 8 m: 329 | 18.42 × 8 m: 303 |
| 8 | 24.4 × 10 m: 509 | 24.56 × 10 m: 492 |
| 10 | 30.5 × 12 m: 766 | 30.7 × 12 m: 706 |
How to choose between them
- Use the system you own or can rent nearby: a mixed yard costs more than a few extra pieces.
- Check the bay lengths against your facades: more bay lengths fit odd lengths more closely.
- Compare the depths: a deeper scaffold gives more room to work but uses different decks and transoms.
- Count the pieces to handle, not only the price per piece: more pieces mean more transport and erection time.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and approval for ties and loads; ScaFix plans, it does not approve.
