Portable Fans

Portable fans are an excellent air-cooling solution that help to regulate interior temperatures of rooms such as offices, homes, and commercial areas, as well as improving airflow in the room. Portable fans are available in a wide range of sizes and styles to suit a variety of environments, including free-standing tower fans, USB fans, portable duct fans and small, compact desk fans. Many desktop and portable fans include various features to enhance airflow and circulation such as oscillating, timers, variable speeds and some are even supplied with remote control for your convenience.

Types of Portable Fan

• Tower Fans: Tower fans usually have a tall, slimline design which requires less floorspace making them ideal for places where space may be limited. They are also lightweight, making them easy to move to the desired location and to store when not in use. Tower fans have low noise levels making them suitable for home & office use.
• Desk Fans: Desk Fans and USB fans are small and compact desktop fans that are ideal for both office and home use. These indoor fans are great for light air circulation in rooms without air conditioning or without opening windows. They will keep you cool and give a pleasant breeze while working from home, relaxing, or sleeping.
• Heavy Duty Industrial Fans: Heavy duty fans, also known as industrial fans, are used for high-performance air movement in demanding environments such as factories, warehouses, and workshops. They offer high airflow capacity and usually have a more durable build to withstand harsher environments.
• Floor Fans: Floor fans are lower to the floor and often angled, making them ideal for powerful air cooling whilst remaining portable. Floor standing fans are ideal for distributing cool air in a larger room such as an office or working space and often feature oscillating functions to enable wider airflow.
• Pedestal Fans: Pedestal floor fans or standing fans are very similar to tower fans, while this type of fan stands tall like a tower fan, they only blow their air from the oscillating function as opposed to a tower fan which blows air up their entire height.
• Duct Fans: Portable duct fans are air blowers that can be used in enclosed or difficult to reach areas. They are often connected to ducting systems for ventilation or exhaust applications in confined spaces.
