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

ree

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.

Whether you’re managing a small crew or a large construction operation, this OSHA-certified canopy helps you protect your workers, stay compliant, and keep projects on schedule — no matter how hot it gets.
