Shade That Mounts to the Unit You're Working On
The UV-Blocker ServiceShield is a 2.3 m UPF 50+ shade umbrella for air-conditioning and HVAC technicians that fixes to a rooftop unit in under 60 seconds, so you can work in shade with both hands free. Three high-pull magnets hold it to any flat steel casing, and an arm that turns 360° lets you follow the sun across a long service call without moving the base.
Rooftops in an Australian summer are hard on people. Under Australia's work health and safety laws, businesses have to manage the risks of working in heat so far as is reasonably practicable, and Safe Work Australia's guidance lists working in shade among the ways to do it. The ServiceShield gives a crew shade they can carry in the ute and put up on any job. It isn't certified PPE; treat it as one part of your heat and UV plan, alongside water, rest breaks and sun-protective clothing.
What's in the case
Solarteck® canopy: 2.3 m, UPF 50+ (tested to AATCC TM183-2020), blocks 99% of UVA and UVB and keeps the work area up to 8°C cooler than direct sun
Triple magnetic base: three high-pull magnets for flat steel rooftop-unit casings
RAM Tough-Claw™ clamp: for pipes, rails and frames where there's no steel to grip
Extension arm: adjusts through 360°
Protective base pad: non-marring, so it won't scratch the unit or the roof membrane
Heavy-duty carry case: the whole kit packs away in about 30 seconds
Common questions
What if the unit isn't magnetic? Use the included Tough-Claw clamp on a pipe, rail or structural frame.
Will it hold in rooftop wind? The three magnets give a strong hold, and the vented canopy lets gusts pass through rather than lifting it.
What does the warranty cover? The RAM hardware has a limited lifetime warranty. The canopy fabric is covered for one year against UV fading or tearing in normal professional use.
