General Equipment

The GP21 positive pressure ventilator is the first of its kind designed specifically for construction-related applications. The high-static pressure capabilities of the unit's propellers create a pressure differential that channels the airstream through an available exit and into the atmosphere. Hazardous dusts, fumes and ambient temperature extremes, found in many construction-related activities, can be effectively minimized or eliminated using this method. The unit is powered by a 5½-hp Honda gasoline engine and produces an airflow rate of 11,000 cfm with a static capacity of 5 inches or more. An electric-powered model is also available.

Ground Heaters

The new Sahara Air Heater Model 1250 is designed for temporarily heating large enclosed spaces and multistory buildings for construction applications. The unit utilizes a trailer-mounted hydronic heater to heat the unit's 140 gallons of heat transfer fluid up to 180F. The unit can be powered by three different fuel types, including diesel, propane and natural gas. Conversion for each fuel option can be done in the field and only takes a matter of minutes.

Marc Mandin, general manager of Edmonton, Alberta-based 4-Way Equipment Rentals has grown winter business at his location by adding hydronic heaters to the fleet. “The heater's design addresses two of the contractor's biggest problems with other types of heaters by keeping both the moist combustion by-products and the flame that concerns insurance companies where they should be … outside.”
