How windproof are the umbrellas?

Practical experience values: Ø 2.5 m up to 100 km/h, Ø 3.0 m up to 65 km/h. Important — an umbrella is still a sail: when a storm builds, close it or take it down in good time.

Which base suits which ground?

Soil and clay: SLAM RAM ground spike. Asphalt and concrete: heavy folding stand or TRIPOD TITAN. The TRIPOD fits only the Worker, Pipeliner, Pipeliner Heavy and Heavy.

Are custom colours or my company logo possible?

Yes. The Rectangular umbrella is available with your company logo on request, the Worker also in special and fan designs. Just get in touch.

Only the right stand makes it safer.

To the shop

An umbrella stays a sail. However sturdily it is built — with enough wind, every surface becomes a target for the wind.

The right stand makes the umbrella stand cleaner and safer. But it does not make it indestructible or accident-free. Even with a good stand an umbrella can tip, wander or fall over — a stand is no "holds-everything" device.

When a storm rolls in, heroics do not help: close, secure or take it down in good time.

The km/h figures come from practice and are to be understood as experience values, not a guarantee. In the end, the on-site risk assessment always decides.

Occupational safety · Duty

Weather protection is a duty. Not a nicety.

Anyone who has people work outdoors must assess the hazard from weather and take measures — § 5 ArbSchG, ArbStättV, ASR A3.5, DGUV Vorschrift 1. And under the TOP principle, the technical solution comes first: fixed weather protection over the workplace.

38.000+recognised cases of white skin cancer from UV at work (BK 5103) up to 2022. Weather protection is health protection.

UV radiation

White skin cancer has been a recognised occupational disease since 2015 (BK 5103). Protection from UV index 3 — from March to October, especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Heat

ASR A3.5 grades it clearly: above 26 °C measures should be taken, above 30 °C they must be — above 35 °C the workplace is unsuitable without protection.

Storm & wind

Limits are set per task; from about wind force 8 (≈ 62 km/h) it gets critical. In a thunderstorm: stop work immediately.

Cold & wet

Weather-protective clothing down to −5 °C, below that cold-protective gear. Wet and wind worsen the chilling — a roof keeps crew and material dry.

The TOP principle — in this order

Technical

Umbrella, tent, canopy — works regardless of behaviour. The first and most effective level.

That is exactly what the work umbrella is for.

Organisational

Shift working hours, plan breaks, rotate tasks.

Personal

Protective clothing, sunscreen, headwear — the last level.

Practice · Decision

Which umbrella for your industry?

Industry first, then the model — not the other way round. That avoids a wrong buy. Pick your use, we name model, size and colour.

Pipeline welding →Pipeliner

Ø 2,5 mBlack up to 100 km/h flame-retardant

Also flame-retardant

This is a recommendation, not a dogma — just quick guidance on which direction to think in. For civil engineering and many other tasks, other models fit just as well depending on the situation. Just tell us your use and we will advise personally.

How to decide — in 4 steps

Industry

Which task? Welding, surveying, civil engineering, service …

Flying sparks

Yes → flame-retardant (Pipeliner · Reinforced · Rectangular). No → Worker or Heavy.

Ground

Soil/loam → SLAM RAM. Asphalt/concrete → folding stand.

Size

1–2 people → Ø 2,5 m. Team/large workpiece → Ø 3,0 m. Angular → rectangular.
