Used Pedestal Fans

Pedestal fans offer a more moderate amount of air flow than barrel fans or air cannons. They are smaller and convenient to move from room to room, are completely adjustable, and some even oscillate to vary direction of air flow. Designed for individual rooms and smaller spaces within a warehouse and facilities, these fans come equipped on a pedestal to allow air flow to be at face-level for ideal cooling. The circulation of air is especially important during the warmer months of the year. Pedestal fans produce the air circulation necessary to remove lingering odors, pollutants, and smoke. Aside from appropriate ventilation pedestal fans help keep environments from overheating, mold buildup, and product deterioration. If air becomes stagnant it can make spaces warmer and can cause smells in a warehouse to linger around.

About Pedestal Fans

Industrial Pedestal Fans are designed with heavy bases, adjustable height posts, and longer fan blades. These cost-effective and adaptable fans have multiple speeds, so they can be changed depending on the current need. These fans prevent air stagnation in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. By circulating air, pedestal fans help to improve air quality. Aside from improving the air quality, these fans will save facility managers thousands of dollars each year in energy costs.

Pedestal fans are a fantastic solution for beating the heat in your warehouse or facility. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars every day to keep your warehouse air conditioned, pedestal fans offer a far more cost effecting means of temperature control. While they are designed for cooling down smaller-sized areas quickly, industrial pedestal fans can also be used to dry wet spots rapidly, and to keep sediment out of the air at work sites.

ASI offers pedestal fans at various heights, and most are even adjustable. Pedestal fans typically have three speeds to better deal with cooling concerns. When buying used from American Surplus you can shop with confidence. Every fan that leaves our warehouse is inspected and tested prior to shipping to ensure that only the highest quality used equipment makes its way to our customers.
