How many does a scaffold need?
One storey of the scaffold, usually about 2 m high; a lift with a deck is a working level. On ScaFix's example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m, eaves 4.5 m), Layher Blitz gets decks on 2 lifts, Layher Allround on 2 and PERI UP on 2. A straight 12.28 × 6 m wall gets 2 decked lifts with Layher Blitz.
Lift in three systems
The example house scaffolded all round and three straight walls, each computed by ScaFix's engine with the system's own bay length and depth. The counts are the app's part group, which can also hold related parts (for example legs or base plates with the base jacks).
| System | Example house | 6.14 × 4 m | 12.28 × 6 m | 30.7 × 12 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Layher Blitz | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| Layher Allround | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| PERI UP | 2 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
