Welding umbrella
Welding work does not always take place indoors. Think of repair work on railway tracks, maintenance on tram rails or repairs to underground cables. It is precisely at outdoor sites that the work simply has to carry on. But bright sun, rain and wind make that considerably harder. A welding umbrella offers exactly the protection you need: a lightweight, portable canopy that shields your workplace from the weather straight away.
Who is a welding umbrella intended for?
Wherever welding, grinding or cutting is done outdoors, the weather plays a part. Maintenance companies working at changing locations know this better than anyone. One moment the sun is beating down on your workplace, the next a shower sets in. A welding umbrella ensures that the work does not grind to a halt.
In practice, we mainly see the welding umbrella among companies in railway and tram maintenance, welding firms carrying out on-site repair work, and parties in civil engineering and groundworks. Technical services that regularly carry out outdoor work are also increasingly opting for their own welding umbrella. It is a relatively small investment that contributes directly to working comfort and continuity.
Do you work at larger outdoor sites and need more shielding? Then take a look at our welding tents for complete cover as well.
What makes a good welding umbrella 'good'?
Not every umbrella is suitable for welding work. During professional use near sparks and spatter, the fabric must not catch fire under any circumstances. In addition, you want a structure that can withstand wind and travels easily to the next job. Cepro welding umbrellas are developed specifically for this purpose: flame-retardant and fire-retardant canvas, a sturdy structure at a manageable weight. Everything is geared towards letting you work comfortably and safely outdoors.
The canvas weighs around 280 grams per square metre. Sturdy enough for daily use, but light enough to carry along without any trouble. The top features a wind vent that keeps the umbrella more stable in gusts and prevents damage.
Good to know: the canvas is water-repellent, but not waterproof. In light rain or drizzle you stay perfectly dry. For prolonged or heavy precipitation, a welding tent is a better choice. We would rather tell you that honestly in advance, so that you know exactly what to expect.
Two sizes of welding umbrellas
Cepro offers the welding umbrella in two dimensions, so that you always have a version that suits your work.
Ø 220 cm
The compact version with 10 ribs of 110 cm and a tilt mechanism. The pole is 28 mm thick, consists of two parts and has a total height of 220 cm. Ideal for smaller jobs where manoeuvrability counts. With a handy carry bag.
Ø 300 cm
The larger model with 8 ribs of 150 cm and a turning mechanism for opening and closing. The pole has a diameter of 38 mm, consists of two parts and is supplied with a carry bag as well as a sturdy ground spike for fixing in the ground. The ends of the ribs are fitted with metal protective sleeves for added durability.
Both versions are made in green canvas and delivered ready to use. No assembly, no hassle: simply unpack, set up and get to work.

The welding umbrella as part of your work kit
In practice, you often combine a welding umbrella with other protective equipment. At an outdoor site, you are soon working with several products at once. Think of welding blankets to protect the workpiece against sparks and heat, or welding screens to shield bystanders from welding light.
For larger outdoor projects, for example work on pipelines or in shipbuilding, our outdoor welding solutions offer a complete package. From compact welding umbrellas to modular heavy-duty versions, or even tents: the right shielding for every outdoor situation.
The carry bag supplied free of charge makes storage and transport easy. From job to job, without extra accessories or hassle.
