Struggling With Hot, Stagnant Areas? This 36" Cradle Mount Direct-Drive Drum Fan Delivers Targeted Airflow That Cools Workers, Floors and Equipment Fast

A reliable drum fan is one of those pieces of equipment you don’t think much about—until you’re standing in a hot aisle, a stagnant corner, or next to equipment that’s throwing off heat all day. The 36 inch cradle mount drum fan from Triangle Engineering is built for those exact conditions, delivering strong, focused airflow where general ventilation and ceiling fans fall short.

This fan is designed for spot cooling rather than whole-building air movement. With airflow in the 10,000+ CFM range, it creates a concentrated airstream that can be aimed directly at people, products, or equipment. In warehouses, factories, and repair shops, that kind of directional airflow makes a noticeable difference—especially in areas under mezzanines, along dock doors, or between racking where air tends to stall.

The 36" size is a practical middle ground. It moves significantly more air than smaller portable fans, yet it can still be repositioned by one person as work areas change. That flexibility matters in facilities where layouts, staging zones, or temporary projects shift throughout the year. You get high airflow without committing to permanent ductwork or HVAC modifications.

The cradle mount adds another layer of control. The fan can be tilted upward, downward, or straight ahead, making it useful for cooling workers at packing stations, drying wet floors after cleaning, or directing air toward heat-producing machinery. It’s equally at home pushing air across the floor or lifting it toward elevated work areas and equipment faces.

Direct-drive construction keeps things simple. By eliminating belts, this fan reduces routine maintenance, avoids belt dust, and removes a common failure point. Direct drive also tends to run more smoothly, which is helpful in spaces where fans operate for long stretches or are frequently moved and restarted.

In real-world use, this barrel fan is often relied on for heat stress reduction, moisture control, and temporary ventilation. It’s commonly used to support workers in hot zones, help protect temperature-sensitive equipment, and speed up drying after washdowns or minor water events. It can also assist with moving fumes or warm air toward existing exhaust systems when full capture isn’t practical.

For facilities that use large ceiling-mounted airflow solutions, this fan works well alongside HVLS warehouse fans for general circulation, while handling localized problem areas on the floor. It also fits naturally into setups that rely on portable industrial fans to address changing airflow needs across shifts or seasons.

This 36 inch cradle mount drum fan isn’t complicated—and that’s the point. It delivers high-volume, directional airflow in the places that need it most, without adding maintenance headaches or permanent infrastructure. When conditions get hot, damp, or stagnant, it’s a straightforward solution that simply works.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• High-Volume, Targeted Airflow (10,900 CFM)
  Moves a serious amount of air directly into hot, stagnant work zones, providing noticeable cooling for workers, products, or heat-producing equipment without trying to condition the entire building.

• Cradle Mount With Adjustable Tilt for Precise Aiming
  The heavy-duty cradle lets you tilt the fan up or down to direct airflow exactly where it’s needed—across floors for drying, into workstations, or toward machinery and mezzanines.

• Direct-Drive Motor for Low Maintenance and Reliable Operation
  Eliminates belts and pulleys, reducing routine upkeep, avoiding belt dust, and removing a common failure point in industrial environments with frequent start-stop use.

• Built for Continuous Duty in Harsh Environments
  A ½ HP TEFC motor and industrial-grade pivot hardware are designed for continuous operation, standing up to daily use in warehouses, factories, and repair shops.

• Portable Design With Wheels and Full-Width Handle
  Large wheels and a barrel-width handle make it easy for one person to tilt and roll the fan into position, supporting changing layouts, temporary projects, and task-specific cooling.

• 36″ Blade Size for Strong Reach Without Sacrificing Mobility
  The 36-inch diameter delivers significantly more airflow and throw than smaller fans, while still remaining practical to reposition across long aisles or open floor areas.

• OSHA-Compliant Steel Guards for Safer Use on the Floor
  Spiral-wound steel guards help protect against accidental contact with moving blades, making the fan suitable for active work areas when properly placed.

• Standard 115V Single-Phase Power for Easy Setup
  Runs on common 115V single-phase power and includes a 10-foot cord with molded plug, allowing quick placement and use without special wiring or electrical modifications.
