Why do people love Big Ass fans so much? And what is it about big industrial ceiling fans that some people canāt live without?Ā
Who Needs Big Industrial Ceiling Fans?Ā
First, letās talk about why so many people need big industrial ceiling fans. If youāve ever worked in a large warehouse or factory floor, you probably know how hot it can get during the warmer months of the year. Itās common for warehouses not to have air-conditioning; installing and operating A/C, especially in toastier climates, is very expensive. Weāre talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in just one year.Ā
Companies want to avoid those kinds of expenses, especially when margins are already razor thin. But the well-being of their employees is a businessās number-one priority. When a warehouse gets hot and stuffy, workers suffer. Their productivity drops, their ability to concentrate weakens, and the quality of their health becomes a serious concern.
Big industrial ceiling fans have become the go-to solution for companies with overheated facilities. These huge fans are designed to circulate massive volumes of air throughout giant spaces like warehouses. They provide much-needed relief for employees by spreading a continuous breeze across the work area, allowing them to stay healthy, remain focused, and be as productive as possible.Ā
Workers need big industrial ceiling fans for their well-being, while companies need them to take care of their staff, maintain high productivity, and improve their profitability.Ā
Who Wants Big Industrial Ceiling Fans?Ā
When people see big industrial ceiling fans for the first time, theyāre almost always amazed.Ā
Their size alone is impressive. Big Ass Fans manufactures industrial ceiling fans that range from 8 feet (2.4 meters) to a whopping 30 feet (9.1 meters) in diameter. Thatās two giraffes tall! Their massive airfoils (aka blades) provide the pressure needed to force airflow through a large spaceāmore than 40,000 square feet (12,000 square meters) in some buildings.Ā
It takes a hefty motor and gearbox to rotate those immense airfoils. Big Ass Fans produces the industryās largest gearbox, capable of spinning those blades reliablyāand quietlyāfor decades. Who wouldnāt want that kind of power?Ā
Aside from the cool factor (pun intended), people want big industrial ceiling fans because they get the job done cost-efficiently. While rates and conditions vary widely, itās common for companies to spend less than a dollar a day to operate one of these fans. Unlike HVAC systems, they donāt require a lot of energy to run and wonāt cut deeply into your operations budget.Ā
