Calculate scaffold weight: guide values for building scaffolding & transport

Wie schwer ist ein Baugerüst? Die Frage entscheidet über Transport, Lagerfläche und Handling auf der Baustelle. Als Faustregel wiegt ein komplettes Stahl-Rahmengerüst ca. 19 - 21 kg pro m² eingerüsteter Fläche, ein Modulgerüst ca. 24 kg/m² - mit Alu-Belägen sinkt das Gewicht auf ca. 15 kg/m². Für ein 100-m²-Gerüst heißt das rund 1,5 bis 2,4 Tonnen Material.

Below you will find the guide values for each system and component group. The quickest way to find the exact value is to use our EasyFlow scaffolding weight calculator – which works in the same way as the scaffolding area calculator: select a system, enter the area, and read off the weight and transport requirements.

Note: All weights are non-binding guide figures (load class 3, bay length 2.57–3.07 m, standard decks). The figures in the parts list in your CETRAC quotation are binding. Transport: 7.5-tonne lorry ≈ 3-tonne payload · 40-tonne articulated lorry ≈ 24-tonne payload.

Approximate weights per m² and transport requirements

Guideline values per m² of scaffolded area – including frames, decks, guardrails, diagonal braces and base jacks (load class 3, standard bay dimensions):

• Layher Blitz (steel decking): approx. 20 kg/m²
• Layher Blitz (aluminium/heavy-duty decking): approx. 15 kg/m²
• Layher Allround (module, steel): approx. 24 kg/m²
• Plettac SL70: approx. 19 kg/m²
• Hünnebeck Bosta 70/100: approx. 21 kg/m²
• Rux Super: approx. 20 kg/m²

Calculation example: A standard detached house with 230 m² of Layher Blitz (steel) scaffolding weighs around 4.6 t – that equates to 2 × 7.5 t lorries or a small articulated lorry. The following are taken as transport guidelines: a 7.5-tonne lorry ≈ 3 tonnes payload, a 40-tonne articulated lorry ≈ 24 tonnes payload.

The breakdown by component group: vertical frames/uprights ~ 45%, scaffold decks ~ 34%, guardrails & diagonal braces ~ 13%, base spindles & small parts ~ 8% of the total weight.

All figures are indicative only – the exact weight is specified in the parts list in your quotation. You can find out how much your scaffolding will cost in the price guide: ‘How much does scaffolding cost?’, and you can work out the required area using the EasyFlow scaffolding area calculator.
