Schaefer fans ยท Backus, Minnesota
Rent large Schaefer drum fans from BCI Rentals for jobsite air circulation, drying and summer comfort. Choose 36-inch or 42-inch floor fans, or a 36-inch ceiling-hung circulation fan for a planned overhead installation. View rates and reserve online, or call us to match the fan to your space.
Airflow is listed in cubic feet per minute (CFM). More CFM can move more air, but placement, obstructions and the path through the space matter as much as the diameter.
| Fan | Airflow | Power | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36-inch floor drum fan | 11,000 / 7,700 CFM, two speeds | 115V, 5.2A | Movable air circulation for shops, construction and drying |
| 42-inch floor drum fan | 16,600 / 10,900 CFM, two speeds | 115V, 12.3A | Higher airflow for larger open work areas |
| 36-inch ceiling-hung fan | 11,690 CFM | 115V, 7A | Overhead horizontal circulation with a suitable mounting plan |
Confirm the outlet capacity and other loads on the circuit. Ceiling-hung fans need a suitable support, mounting hardware and placement that follow the equipment instructions.
Fans help distribute heat through a shop, building shell or other work area. Ceiling-hung Schaefer Versa-Kool fans create a horizontal air pattern that helps mix air in the space. Plan circulation alongside your temporary heater, including the heater's required ventilation.
Moving air across damp surfaces supports evaporation. Pair fans with a commercial dehumidifier to remove moisture from the room instead of simply moving humid air around. Follow the material manufacturer's limits when drying finishes or working around curing concrete.
Large floor fans provide air movement in shops, barns and work areas. A fan does not lower the air temperature or replace refrigeration. For targeted cold air, see portable spot coolers; for larger enclosed spaces, see industrial A/C rental.
BCI's floor and ceiling-hung drum fans are Schaefer units. Schaefer is part of Pinnacle Climate Technologies, one of the dealer lines carried by BCI Rentals. See the equipment brands we carry for rental and equipment purchase options.
Yes, a drum fan can provide circulation across a damp work area. It does not collect water. A dehumidifier removes water from the air, and the two types of equipment can work together. Tell us the room layout and what is wet so we can discuss placement and equipment choices.
The 42-inch fan has higher listed airflow and a higher electrical draw. The 36-inch floor fan is a useful starting point for general circulation. Call with the size of the space, available power and desired airflow path to choose the right setup.
Air movement can improve comfort, but a fan alone does not remove heat from a closed room. Cooling the room requires air conditioning or an appropriate ventilation plan. Fans are not a substitute for ventilation required by a heater or work process.
