🌞 Why the Boom Shade Is the Most Effective Sun Protection for Aerial Lifts

Working on an aerial lift in the middle of the day means one thing — constant exposure to the sun. The heat, glare, and UV rays can quickly lead to fatigue, sunburn, and even heat-related illnesses. That’s why TNK Manufacturing developed the Boom Shade, an OSHA- and ANSI-certified aerial lift shade canopy designed to protect workers, boost productivity, and improve jobsite safety.

☀️ The Real Problem: Sun Exposure on the Jobsite

Aerial lift operators, painters, electricians, and maintenance crews often work high above ground with no overhead protection. Long hours in direct sunlight can cause:

• Heat exhaustion and dehydration

• Reduced concentration and performance

• Increased breaks and downtime

• Skin damage and sunburn

• Lower overall jobsite efficiency

These challenges don’t just affect comfort—they impact safety, productivity, and profits.

💡 The Solution: The Boom Shade

The Boom Shade is a heavy-duty sun canopy engineered specifically for aerial lifts. Its patented design fits most 6ft and 8ft platforms and installs in just minutes — no tools required.

Key Features and Benefits

• ✅ Blocks 90% of Direct Sunlight – Keeps workers shaded and cool all day

• ✅ OSHA & ANSI Certified – Meets safety standards for aerial lift attachments

• ✅ Universal Fit – Works with most leading lift brands and models

• ✅ Durable & Lightweight – Industrial-grade materials built for long-term jobsite use

• ✅ Fast Installation – Easily mounts in minutes without interfering with operation

With the Boom Shade, workers stay cooler, safer, and more focused, even under the toughest conditions.

🏗️ Why Leading Contractors Choose Boom Shade

Across the United States, contractors are discovering that the Boom Shade is more than a comfort feature — it’s a productivity booster. Crews working under shade complete more work with fewer breaks, experience less fatigue, and report higher morale.

By equipping lifts with Boom Shades, companies also demonstrate a commitment to worker safety, setting themselves apart from competitors who haven’t yet adopted this innovative solution.

❓ Questions to Ask Before Your Next Job

If you’re considering ways to improve safety and comfort on the job, ask yourself:

• Are my operators exposed to direct sunlight for hours at a time?

• Have any team members experienced heat stress or dehydration?

• Do I want a quick, certified solution that installs in minutes?

• Would my company benefit from offering a safer, more comfortable work environment?

• How much more efficient could our crews be if they worked in the shade?

If any of these questions hit home, it’s time to invest in the Boom Shade.
