Industrial machinery and construction machinery general rental company, Rent Co., Ltd. (Suruga Ward, Shizuoka City, Representative Director: Akira Okada), will commence rental of "Icing Shelter," a temporary resting area equipped with air conditioning, from May 2026, as a heatstroke countermeasure for construction sites.
Due to the impact of recent intense heat and the frequent occurrence of occupational accidents caused by heatstroke, heatstroke countermeasures in the workplace became mandatory from June 1, 2025. Construction sites are often exposed to severe conditions, such as scorching sun, leading to a high risk of heatstroke. However, many voices express difficulty in implementing effective measures and securing resting places.
"Icing Shelter" was developed with the aim of solving these problems.
This product provides an environment where workers can cool their bodies and refresh themselves for a certain period in an air-conditioned private space during breaks. Furthermore, by adopting a lightweight resin body, it requires minimal effort for transportation and installation and can be operated as a vehicle-mounted unit. It combines the ease of temporary setup with comfort, protecting workers from harsh environments.
Features of Icing Shelter
