OVERVIEW

Production Areas Running Too Hot? This 42" Cradle Mount Belt-Drive Drum Fan Provides Focused Cooling Across Wide Floor Zones

When airflow is the problem, the Triangle Engineering HBD Series drum fan is the solution facilities reach for. This isn’t a lightweight barrel fan meant for occasional use. It’s a high-capacity, cradle-mount industrial fan designed to move serious volumes of air across warehouses, factories, workshops, and large open bays where HVAC coverage is limited or nonexistent.

A properly sized drum fan changes how a space feels almost immediately. The HBD Series delivers strong, directional airflow that helps break up heat pockets, reduce stagnant air, and move conditioned air farther across the floor. In hot environments, that steady air movement lowers perceived temperature and helps reduce heat stress for workers—especially around loading docks, assembly lines, and equipment that throws off radiant heat.

What makes this unit especially effective is the cradle-mount design. The barrel tilts up, level, or down, allowing airflow to be aimed exactly where it’s needed instead of flooding the entire room. You can target work cells, sweep air down aisles, or angle upward to pull hot ceiling air back into circulation. In tall warehouses, that adjustability matters more than people realize.

The belt-drive configuration is another key advantage. By isolating the motor from the fan wheel, the HBD Series runs quieter than many direct-drive options and keeps motor heat out of the airstream. It’s better suited for long shifts, continuous operation, and occupied spaces. Belt drive also gives you flexibility—airflow can be tuned mechanically to match the application without overworking the motor.

Durability is exactly what you’d expect from Triangle Engineering. Heavy-gauge steel construction, OSHA-compliant guards, and a stable cradle frame make this drum fan a reliable choice for rough industrial floors and frequent repositioning. It’s built to be moved, aimed, and run day after day without becoming a maintenance headache.

For facilities dealing with heat buildup and uneven air movement, the HBD Series drum fan offers a dependable solution. Its controlled airflow helps stabilize conditions across large spaces, supporting comfort and productivity throughout the workday.

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES

• High-Volume 42" Airflow for Large Spaces
  The 42" blade moves up to 14,445 CFM, making this fan well-suited for warehouses, factories, service bays, and other large open areas where smaller fans simply can’t move enough air.
  
  
• Cradle Mount with Full 90° Tilt Control
  Mounted in a heavy-gauge steel cradle, the fan barrel tilts up or down a full 90 degrees and locks securely in place, allowing airflow to be aimed at workstations, equipment, aisles, or upward to mix hot ceiling air.
  
  
• Belt-Drive System for Quieter, Long-Duty Operation
  The belt-drive design isolates the motor from the fan wheel, helping reduce noise and vibration while keeping motor heat out of the airstream—an advantage for long shifts and occupied work areas.
  
  
• Automatic Belt Tensioner for Consistent Performance
  An integrated automatic belt tensioner maintains proper belt tension over time, reducing manual adjustments and helping the fan deliver steady airflow during continuous daily use.
  
  
• Industrial Motor Rated for Continuous Duty
  Powered by a 1/2 HP, 115V, single-phase motor with an ODP enclosure, this fan is built to run continuously in indoor industrial environments without overheating or frequent shutdowns.
  
  
• Durable Steel Construction Built for Daily Movement
  Heavy-gauge steel components and a rigid cradle frame hold up to frequent repositioning, rough floors, and everyday bumps common in warehouses and production areas.
  
  
• OSHA-Compliant Safety Guards
  Spiral-wound, OSHA-compliant guards fully enclose the blade, providing protection for workers while allowing unrestricted airflow—important for busy facilities with foot and equipment traffic.
  
  
• Plug-and-Play Setup with Included Power Cord
  Comes standard with a 10-foot power cord and molded plug, allowing fast setup and easy relocation without special wiring or electrical modifications.
