Dayton Light-Duty Industrial Fan: Light-Duty Industrial Fan, 18 in Blade Dia, 2 Speeds, 120 V AC

Light-duty industrial pedestal fans cool light manufacturing areas, warehouses, and other dry, clean spaces. These air circulators are used where an office fan is inadequate and a heavier-duty or wet-location industrial fan isn't needed. Compared to standard-duty industrial fans, these light-duty fans are made of lighter-gauge materials and have lower-horsepower motors with less-robust bearings.

Industrial pedestal fans have a heavy base and an adjustable-height post, so they can be placed on the floor and directed onto workspaces, machinery, or products. The pedestal base provides stable footing while allowing fans to be moved as needed. The post can be raised or lowered to set the fan head at an optimal height. These air circulators (sometimes called industrial shop fans) are commonly used for cooling in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and shipping operations. Made of heavy-gauge materials suitable for daily use, these axial fans have a powerful motor that drives the fan blades to move large volumes of air and feature high-performance bearings for a long life. A guard encloses the fan blades to help protect them from damage and prevent injuries from accidental contact.
